675 - Microstructure-Informed Modeling of Deformation and Fracture: From 4D Experiments to Numerical Simulations

Advances in constitutive and fracture modeling increasingly rely on close integration of experiments and numerical simulations. Recent developments in in-situ X-ray techniques provide unprecedented insight into the evolution of microstructures during deformation, enabling quantitative links between microstructural mechanisms and macroscopic response. This colloquium will bring together researchers working at the interface of advanced X-ray characterization and micromechanical modeling. Topics include synchrotron X-ray tomography, diffraction contrast tomography, high-speed radiography, complementary microscopy and full-field techniques, and microstructure-informed constitutive and fracture models. The goal is to advance predictive modeling of material deformation and failure through closer integration of experiments and simulations.
