Hamish L. Fraser Ohio Regents Eminent Scholar & Professor

1. To establish a new approach to the development of high performance materials which provides for their accelerated maturation into components Center for the Accelerated Maturation of Materials Hamish L. Fraser Ohio Regents Eminent Scholar & Professor Department of Materials Science & Engineering The Ohio State University

2. Three Major Economic Strengths in Ohio • Aerospace • Automotive • General manufacturing • Use of New and Optimized Materials • Especially important in Aerospace and Automotive GM’s Aluminum body Need for development of technologies that provide new and improved materials at low cost and in short development cycles High Performance Materials in the State’s Economy • Strengthening Ohio’s Economy • Provide new technologies and tools to make Ohio’s companies more competitive

3. World’s first!! Use-directed Basic Research Industrial & Federal Laboratory Partners Predictive Tools for which properties? Materials Science & Engineering Engineering Mechanics Properties Component Level modeling Microstructure Basic Sciences e.g., John Wilkins Eminent Scholar in Physics Customer: Industry Making products Creating wealth High paying jobs Novel Processes & modeling Mechanical & Materials Eng. The Necessary Coupling Required for Success

4. Partnerships and Knowledge Transfer

5. Development vs. Use of Materials R&D Tools • Development: • Need to develop computationally-intensive simulation tools • Ab-initio physics-based models, phase field modeling and finite element modeling • Use of high performance computing facilities - e.g., OSC • Develop novel experimental techniques for: • Rapid population of databases for development of neural networks for new materials • Multi-scale materials characterization, from nano- to macro-scale, to supply mechanisms required for models • Use: • Need to access simulation tools on a desktop PC • Need to access characterization and testing tools for calibration of simulation tools for new materials systems/types

6. Requirements for Access by Industry • Need to access simulation tools on a desktop PC • Use of computationally-intensive models to calibrate neural networks • Need to access characterization and testing tools for calibration of simulation tools for new materials systems/types • Major problem: • Cost of equipment is out of reach for most companies - both legacy industries and new start-up ventures • Examples: • New scanning electron microscopes with required performance - $450k • State-of-the-art transmission electron microscope - $4M. • Location asymmetry: CAMM has the equipment, industry doesn’t • CAMM has acquired a world-class set of equipment for materials characterization • Largely Result of Action and Investment Funds

7. CAMM has already ordered this microscope! Example of State of the Art Acquisition by CAMM

8. CAMM-VIM Program: Initial collaborations based on remote access with CAMM using TFN Solution: Remote Access using Third Frontier Network • Provide remote access to equipment - and so full advantage of CAMM’s computational R&D tools may be realized • Speed of the network permits this to occur in real time - essential for efficient use of the equipment • Provide this access to industry, national laboratories (e.g., AFRL and NASA Glenn), and other universities • Initial start-up of concept through Regent’s Initiative VIM (Visualization, Instrumentation and Modeling) Ohio truly leading the way internationally by stimulating transformational collaborations to provide increased competitiveness for its industries
