Description
Dr. Mark Messner from Argonne National Laboratory will discuss a multiscale model for the creep-rupture properties of a common high-temperature structural steel and comment on the obstacles facing researchers trying to develop true ab initio multiscale models that can be used to design new metal alloys with better long-term, high-temperature performance.
