Integrated Design of Materials, Products, and Manufacturing Processes—Current Trends and Practices

In this chapter, we review the current trends and practices in the integrated design of materials, products, and manufacturing processes. In Sect. 2.1, we discuss the field of integrated materials and product design. A detailed discussion on the current capabilities, the associated limitations, and the research opportunities that are worthy of investigation from the standpoint of material models, simulations, and databases; multiscale materials models and information linking; and materials design under uncertainty is carried out
