Project Description

Properties of materials depend on their structure, which is changed by phase transformations during synthesis and processing. The purpose of this multidisciplinary project is to bring microstructural modelling to a new level by developing the necessary mathematical models and computational techniques, such as reliable and efficient solvers and adaptive methods for deterministic and stochastic PDEs. Close collaboration between material scientists, mathematicians and numerical analysts will result in the next generation of models and computational tools that will be able to treat complex microstructures including three-dimensional shapes with important features on several length scales. The project involves the departments of Mechanics (Gustav Amberg); MSE, Materials Science and Engineering (John Ågren); NADA, Numerical Analysis and Computer Science (Anders Szepessy, Gunilla Kreiss), and Mathematics (Anders Szepessy), at KTH. The project is funded primarily by the Swedish Foundation for Strategic Research (SSF) as a *Ramanslag i tillämpad matematik* project in applied mathematics on "Mathematical theory and simulation tools for phase transformations is materials". The project is administered by the Department of Mechanics.
