Materials Informatics in Multiscale Modeling of Alloys and Compounds

The advance of multicomponent and high entropy represents a fantastic challenge as their multiple possible functions depend on a myriad of factors related to material microstructure, preparation and chemical composition. The objective of this collection in Materials Theory is to gather interdisciplinary original contributions as well as reviews of recent advances in data science approaches to this rapidly growing field.

Multiscale and Multiphysics Modelling of Complex Materials

This Special Collection will be centered on multiscale and multiphysics modeling of complex materials, with attention to the constitutive aspects concerning complex materials, so defined by the presence of internal structure at different scales (nano/micro/meso) and non-linear constitutive behavior (plasticity, damage, fracture, etc.).
