Starting with state-of-the-art optimization engines, it describes an automated system that makes use of simulations and 3D printing to find the material that best performs a user-specified goal. Identifying which microscopic features produce a desired macroscopic behavior is a problem at the forefront of materials science. This task is materials design, and within it, new goals and challenges have emerged from tailoring the response of materials far from equilibrium. These materials hold promising properties such as robustness, high strength, and self-healing. Yet without a general theory to predict how these properties emerge, designing and controlling them presents a complex and important problem. As proof of concept, the thesis shows how to design the behavior of granular materials, i.e., collections of athermal, macroscopic identical objects, by identifying the particle shapes that form the stiffest, softest, densest, loosest, most dissipative and strain-stiffening aggregates. More generally, the thesis shows how these results serve as prototypes for problems at the heart of materials design, and advocates the perspective that machines are the key to turning complex material forms into new material functions.Springer Theses, Recognizing Outstanding Ph.D. Research,2190-5053Amorphous substancesComplex fluidsBuilding materialsEngineering designEngineering—MaterialsMechanicsMechanics, AppliedSoft and Granular Matter, Complex Fluids and Microfluidicshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P25021Structural Materialshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/Z11000Engineering Designhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/T17020Materials Engineeringhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/T28000Theoretical and Applied Mechanicshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/T15001Amorphous substances.Complex fluids.Building materials.Engineering design.Engineering—Materials.Mechanics.Mechanics, Applied.Soft and Granular Matter, Complex Fluids and Microfluidics.Structural Materials.Engineering Design.Materials Engineering.Theoretical and Applied Mechanics.530Miskin Marc Zauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut814119BOOK9910254608803321The Automated Design of Materials Far From Equilibrium2528317UNINA
