DESCRIPTION:Greg Odegard\nRichard and Elizabeth Henes Professor of Computat
 ional Mechanics\, Michigan Tech\nDirector\, NASA STRI for Ultra‐Strong C
 omposites by Computational Design\n\nABSTRACT\nThomas Edison once stated t
 hat "I have not failed. I've just found 10\,000 ways that won't work." The
  trial‐and‐error approach to\nmaterials development has been the stand
 ard for many years\, particularly with aerospace‐grade composite structu
 ral materials. Material formulations are incrementally adjusted\, specimen
 s fabricated\, and tests performed\; and the process is repeated until the
  material structural requirements are met. The time\, material costs\, and
  man‐power costs associated with this Edisonian approach can be prohibit
 ive roadblocks to new material development.\n\nFortunately\, computational
  methods have been developed to greatly facilitate the material developmen
 t process. Using multiscale simulations\, materials can be designed at mul
 tiple length scales (atomic\, microscopic\, bulk) and the resulting proper
 ties can be efficiently and accurately predicted. Thus\, material designs 
 can be optimized via computational modeling before the expense prototyping
  and testing phases begin. This presentation will outline recent efforts t
 o develop multiscale modeling techniques and the efforts of the NASA Space
  Technologies Research Institute (STRI) for Ultra‐Strong Composites by C
 omputational Design (US‐COMP) to design the next generation of composite
  materials for crewed deep‐space exploration.\n\nCo-Hosted By:\n\nProfes
