Combining cutting-edge computational methods with comprehensive explanations and real-world case studies, this comprehensive textbook provides a thorough grounding in the design of engineering materials. Covering a wide range of key computational methods, including CALPHAD-method, first-principles calculations, phase-field simulation, and finite element analysis, it spans the atomic-meso-macro scale range. Through detailed applications to case studies involving steel, light alloys, superalloys, cemented carbides, hard coatings, and energy materials, the reader gains insight into the practical aspects of material design.

An online ancillary material is included, offering input files for computational design software, enabling readers to gain hands-on design experience. Step-by-step instructions are provided to facilitate the performance and repetition of the simulations discussed in the book. Designed for both graduate and undergraduate students as well as non-specialist researchers in materials science and engineering, including ceramics, metallurgy, and chemistry, this textbook serves as an ideal introductory and reference resource.
