Materials science has been central to human advancement since time immemorial. There has always been curiosity around studying the processes required to extract materials, examine their structure, and ultimately tailor their properties to meet human needs. Over the last few centuries, the ability to tailor material properties was driven by...
Modern design practices rely more and more on computer simulations due to their low cost compared with physical experiments. However, it is still an elusive task to fully unleash the advantages of the simulation models while mitigating their disadvantages for designing complex engineering systems. In simulation-based design, computer simulation models...
