To complement physics-based models, data science approaches are playing an increasingly important role in the design and evaluation of materials operating in harsh environments. The aim of this mini-symposium is to provide a forum for discussing the novel computational approaches that pertain to mechanics of materials. This mini-symposium seeks to bring together students, academicians and professionals working in the area of data science and materials engineering.
The topics covered include (but are not limited to):
- Physics-based and machine learning modeling combinations
 - Data-driven approaches
 - Damage modeling in materials
 - Multiscale modeling: Strategies for representing the inherently multiscale nature of the problem covering different spatial or temporal scales
 - Process-structure models: Part-scale and multiscale simulation of the manufacturing process for predicting surface topology and microstructure including defects
 - Process-part optimization for design of structural parts/components
 - Methods to accelerate failure modeling in solids such as adaptive remeshing techniques, specialized linear and nonlinear solvers, and reduced order models
 - Structure based property prediction
 - Modeling of advanced manufacturing or joining processes
 - Modeling of novel material systems
 - Advanced discretization methods such as enrichment and XFEM/GFEM methods, phase field methods and cohesive zone models
 - Probabilistic methods in multiscale modeling
