«In the lecture, I focus on an approach known as rational experimental-computational correlation method. It uses empirical and modeling evidence across the scales to ensure the validity and reliability of design. The practical application of this approach to any modern production process allows navigating the chain of materials science interrelationships — composition, fabrication, structure, and properties — while verifying the validity of each link through both testing and advanced numerical simulation». 

Organized by China Structural Integrity Consortium, the symposium aimed to bring together people from both academic and industrial communities to exchange ideas and discuss emerging structural integrity issues related to advanced manufacturing.
