The laboratory for
computational materials research at Brown University is one of nine
collaborative research laboratories established worldwide by General
Motors to accelerate the pace of innovation in strategic technology
areas.
The laboratory uses computer
simulations to study materials that are being developed for automotive
applications. The simulations are guided and verified by
experiments.
At present, the lab has two focus
areas: (i) Lightweight materials for enhanced performance; (ii)
Engineered surfaces.
Researchers from the
Materials and Processes group at General Motors, and the Solid
Mechanics and Materials groups at Brown collaborate on all projects.
