The purpose of our project is to obtain a surrogate model for the micrsoctruture evolution problem during grain growth for Kinetic Monte Carlo Model. The development of this model will be done by employing the tools learned during the ME8883 Class. Observe the progress of our project by reading our posts.

Microstructure pattern in alloy metals is highly dependent on processing of the metal. Slight processing variations can yield entirely different structures. This project will focus on the Process-Structure correlation of silver-aluminum-copper ternary eutectic alloy during phase solidification.

The polymer blown films for packaging application need to possess a combination of flexibility, toughness and ductility. Our goal is to find the linkage between the film mechanical properties and their geometrical features.

In the slot-die extrusion process, many changes can be made to the setup that affect the structure of the resulting membrane film and the location of particles within the membrane. The goal of this project will be to find a linkage between the process and the distribution of the particles within the membrane film.

Active nematics occur when the individual molecules posess an internal energy source; this internal energy is then converted into motion such that the material is continuously driven out of equilibrium. Our goal is to characterize how defects in a 2D active nematic act in the presence of varying Gaussian curvature.

Aluminum Alloy 7075-T6 is a peak aged alloy primarily used in aging aerospace vehicles. Our project aims to create a meta-model representation of the Structure-Property relationship of particle clusters to the Fatigue Indicator Paramters used to asses crack nucleation (extension into the matrix).
