Abstract: Traditionally, new alloy development and processing involved various high-end expansive experiments, huge development time and cost of required man-hours. One of the major issues, which limits the ability for materials scientists to design metallic materials from atoms using Molecular Dynamics (MD), is the lack of accurate interatomic molecular dynamics potentials (MDPs). Suitable MDPs of desired alloy systems enable new alloy compositions and related properties, but however, this is very difficult and time-consuming process. The present disclosure enables developing molecular dynamics potential for new/traditional metallic alloys for their simulated structural, thermodynamic, and mechanical property predictions. Present disclosure provides systems and methods for generating MDP for multi-element alloy systems wherein both Body Centered Cubic (BCC) element type and/or a Face Centered Cubic (FCC) element type are combined.

It can happen the matching procedure becomes subject or susceptible to timing irregularities, or jitter. In some instances, jitter may impact the ability to derive the benefits of content modification. Accordingly, example embodiments herein are directed to systems and method for compensation and/or mitigating the effects of jitter.
