受我组邀请，美国福特公司研发中心的马修-扎鲁萨克博士(Dr. Matthew J. Zaluzec)于12月7日来我组做一场学术报告。活动将在当天下午两点，材料楼301会议室进行，报告题为《Integrated Computational Materials& Manufacturing Engineering( ICM2E)》.请组内师生准时参加。欢迎感兴趣的同行来一起交流。

Dr. Matthew毕业于美国伊利诺伊大学，长期从事汽车材料研发工作，获得了38项美国专利，110项全球专利，发表了75篇研究论文。现担任福特汽车公司全球材料与制造研究中心高级主管、美国矿物-金属-材料学会（TMS）成员、美国汽车研究联合会（USCAR）技术委员会主席及材料组组长、美国先进材料及工艺协会（USAMP）主席等职。

报告摘要：

As the automotive industry strives to deliver improved fuel economy, best in class quality, and long term reliability, the application of "Integrated Computational Materials and Manufacturing Engineering" (ICM2E) is a power suite of tools that deliver advanced lightweight materials and low cost processes.  By accurately controlling the chemistry of materials, optimizing the manufacturing process parameters, and through the use of first principle modeling, existing steel, aluminum and magnesium material systems are delivering cost savings and performance to meet the needs of our eco-boost engines and light weight body structures.   This lecture will give an overview of how computational disciplines are combining materials science, manufacturing process control, and advanced CAE modeling to deliver optimized automotive components.  Examples of ICM2E and its application in developing durable aluminum block engines, precision transmissions gears, and lightweight magnesium materials for future automotive applications will be reviewed and discussed.
