Introduction to Computational Materials Design

Material science plays a central role in the development of technical foundations even in the 21st century. The traditional empirical methodology of research alone does not meet the modern requirement for a rapidly changing society to ensure society that is environmentally friendly and resource-conserving. The computational materials design approach is expected to be a breakthrough to overcome these barriers.Computational materials design refers to the theoretical design and optimization of materials with the desired property and function. It involves the efficient use of computational techniques to simulate materials based on the basic quantum theory.The purpose of this course is to analyze the present status and possibilities of computational materials design and to implement a new paradigm of material science by learning basic cutting-edge computational methods and exercising materials design using quantum simulation program codes.This course will focus on the basics of quantum simulations and their application to chemical reactions, semiconductor spintronics, carbon functional nanomaterials, dynamics at surfaces, strongly correlated and superconducting materials, materials informatics, and parallel computing on the world’s fastest supercomputers.The layout of the course and the presenters of the modules are listed as follows.1. Yoshitada Morikawa: Introduction2. Yoshitada Morikawa: Design of Chemical Reactions at Interfaces3. Kazunori Sato: Design of Magnetic Materials for Spintronics4. Koichi Kusakabe: Carbon Functional Materials5. Wilson Agerico Dino: Surface/Interface as a Playground/Foundationfor Realizing Designer Materials & Processes6.

Class Central TipsLearn How to Sign up to Coursera courses for free1600+ Coursera Courses That Are Still Completely FreeThis course aims to provide a succinct overview of the emerging discipline of Materials Informatics at the intersection of materials science, computational science, and information science. Attention is drawn to specific opportunities afforded by this new field in accelerating materials development and deployment efforts. A particular emphasis is placed on materials exhibiting hierarchical internal structures spanning multiple length/structure scales and the impediments involved in establishing invertible process-structure-property (PSP) linkages for these materials. More specifically, it is argued that modern data sciences (including advanced statistics, dimensionality reduction, and formulation of metamodels) and innovative cyberinfrastructure tools (including integration platforms, databases, and customized tools for enhancement of collaborations among cross-disciplinary team members) are likely to play a critical and pivotal role in addressing the above challenges.WelcomeWhat you should know before you start the courseAccelerating Materials Development and Deployment •Learn and appreciate historical paradigms of advanced materials development while emphasizing the critical need for new approaches that employ data sciences and informatics as the glue to connect computational simulation and experiments to speed up the processes of materials discovery and development.•Learn about the emergence of key national and international 21st century initiatives in accelerated materials discovery and development and how they are expected to bring about a disruptive transformation of new product capabilities and time to market.Materials Knowledge and Materials Data Science •Understand property, structure and process spaces•Learn about Process-Structure-Property Linkages •Learn what does Materials Knowledge mean•Learn about a role of Data Science in Materials Knowledge System•Overview approaches and main components of Data Science•Learn about a new discipline - Materials Data SciencesMaterials Knowledge Improvement Cycles•Learn material structure and its digital representation•Learn how to calculate 2-point statistics •Learn how Principal Component Analysis can be used to reduce dimensionality•Understand Homogenization and Localization conceptsCase Study in Homogenization: Plastic Properties of Two-Phase CompositesThis module demonstrates a homogenization problem based on an example of two-phase compositesMaterials Innovation Cyberinfrastructure and Integrated Workflows•Learn about materials innovation system and cyberinfrastructure•Review Materials Databases, e-collaboration platforms and code repositories•Learn why integrated workflows are needed•Define Metadata, Structured and Unstructured data•Learn about available services for e-collaborations

Physical and Chemical Characteristics of Aggregates

0

Aggregate is a granular material that generally occupies 70 to 80% of the volume of concrete. In addition to being an economical filler, aggregate also plays an important role in controlling several properties of concrete including mixture composition, dimensional stability, wear resistance and durability.Although aggregates are typically assumed to be chemically inactive, in some cases they can contribute to degradation of concrete, especially if they contain such substances as chlorides, sulfates, alkali-reactive silica, or clay and organic particles. In addition, some aggregates may show poor freeze-thaw resistance, especially if they contain absorbent components such chert, shale or some porous limestone.The course will cover the physical and chemical aspects of the durability of aggregates and explore how these characteristics influence the performance of concrete. In addition to covering the “ordinary” aggregates, the course will also explore the properties and uses of recycled concrete aggregates as well as aggregates for “specialty” concretes, including radiation shielding, ultra-high strength, lightweight and internally cured materials.
