| Abstract Scope |
The macroscale behavior of materials is dictated by their underlying microscale heterogeneity, motivating the need for computational workflows that can systematically generate, vary, and evaluate microstructures. Here, we present a modular, extensible, and automated high-throughput workflow for generating synthetic microstructures with tunable microscale geometric and material characteristics across porous cellular solids, porous fibrous materials, and multiphase polycrystals, and for predicting their macroscale effective properties. By providing parametric control over attributes such as fiber aspect ratio, porosity, phase distribution, and crystallographic grain orientation, synthetic microstructures enable systematic quantification of microstructure–property relations. The toolkit performs computational homogenization to infer effective elastic and thermal properties from multiple representative volume element realizations and estimates macroscopic yield strength using crystal plasticity finite element simulations that link slip-system activity to the predicted yield response. |
