Patent number: 11740612Abstract: Conventionally material selection of composite structure is performed by using discrete materials available in manufacturer's databases. Thus, tailorable nature of composite materials is not exploited to achieve superior performance. Further, conventional methods perform material selection and sizing separately and do not take into account the influence of sizing on material selection and vice versa. Embodiments of the present disclosure provide systems and methods for multiscale material selection for designing of mechanical systems that incorporates tailoring of material microstructures and sizing to achieve improved solutions. The microstructure properties are obtained by using analytical and computational models for various composite materials. These models compute structure-property relations between bulk material properties and their micro-structural constituents.Type: GrantFiled: August 19, 2020Date of Patent: August 29, 2023Assignee: TATA CONSULTANCY SERVICES LIMITEDInventors: Rizwan Khan Pathan, Soban Babu Beemaraj, Amit Gangadhar Salvi
