Accelerated Evaluation of Properties of Polyphase Alloys

Simulations are utilized as partial substitutes for laboratory experiments.

A methodology for accelerated evaluation of mechanical properties of polyphase alloys is based on digital representations of the alloys. For a given alloy material system, this representation is utilized in concert with (1) software tools and probes that simulate traditional laboratory testing equipment and instrumentation, and (2) real laboratory mechanical testing by nontraditional methods.
