*********************************
There is now a CONTENT FREEZE for Mercury while we switch to a new platform. It began on Friday, March 10 at 6pm and will end on Wednesday, March 15 at noon. No new content can be created during this time, but all material in the system as of the beginning of the freeze will be migrated to the new platform, including users and groups. Functionally the new site is identical to the old one. webteam@gatech.edu

Title:
“Modeling Process-Structure Linkages In Ternary Eutectoid Al-Ag-Cu Alloys”
Abstract:
Process-structure-property (PSP) linkages are critical for furthering the knowledge base of material informatics. This talk describes our research into modeling the process-structure linkages for both the steady state and transient behavior of ternary eutectoid Al-Ag-Cu alloys. Our objective is to understand how solidifying aluminum alloys' microstructures are determined by the solidification velocity and alloy concentrations. We utilize state-of-the-art simulation results of ternary eutectoid Al alloy solidification (for further detail on the simulation see [1]). The simulations provide a data-rich transient solidification period that--in most cases--arrives at a steady state. In this talk I will present our methods and results for modeling the linkages between the simulated solidification process and the alloy microstructures. I will also cover the ongoing challenges we have faced, which motivate the need of non-linear dimensionality reduction techniques for modeling transience in materials.

Bio:
Robert Pienta is a PhD student in computational science and engineering at Georgia Tech. As an undergraduate, he attended Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology majoring in computer science and mathematics. His academic interests are human-in-the-loop machine learning, visual analytics, and large-scale data mining. While in FLAMEL he aspires to utilize visualization and data mining techniques to improve the quality of models and material simulations. For fun he paints portraits and runs.
