Abstract:
It is believed that substantial cost, schedule, and technical benefits would result from development, implementation, and validation of Integrated Computational Materials Engineering (ICME) for aerospace propulsion applications. It is also believed that such development and implementation is necessary, even essential, to ensure that materials engineering play a significant continuing role in aerospace system design and development -- in fact, it is essential for all manner of materials engineering functions. Considerable effort has been expended over the past three decades developing materials, processing, and behavior models, and many models are currently employed in the industry by both engine OEMs and their suppliers. Yet, anticipated major benefits from use of such models have not been realized in terms of significantly reduced material and process development time and cost, reduced validation time and cost, or in comprehensive implementation of model-intensive advances in life prediction, such as integrated probabilistic design and life prediction methods.
