With the trend toward high-performance, lightweight, large-scale, and integrated aerospace components, higher demands are being placed on material systems. Lightweight and high-strength materials, such as aluminum alloys, magnesium alloys, and composite materials, not only offer low density, high strength, and high stiffness but also possess excellent corrosion and wear resistance. Their widespread application is the key to reducing the weight and increasing the payload of aerospace vehicles.
With the advancement of computer technology, computational materials science is becoming an important branch in the field of materials research. It not only addresses the challenges posed by the increasing size and complexity of components, such as high experimental difficulty and cost but also provides guidance through efficient simulation analysis for structural design and process optimization.
Therefore, this special issue focuses on the application of computational materials science in the design and manufacturing of advanced materials (such as aluminum alloys, magnesium alloys, composite materials, etc.).
The following subtopics are the particular interests of this special issue, including but not limited to:
1. Cross-scale modeling of materials.
2. Crystal plasticity modeling of materials.
3. Finite element analysis of multiple physical fields.
4. Structural-functional integrated design.
5. Structural multiscale characterization.
6. Structural health monitoring and prediction.
