Scope: Multiscale Materials Modeling has seen decades of efforts and progress, but challenges remain in bridging different length/time scales across models. Lower-scale simulation results are difficult to construct into physics-based constitutive equations, hampering their transferability to higher-scale models. These challenges intensify with growing interest in chemically complex materials and extreme conditions in advanced materials processing. The emergence of data-driven techniques – particularly artificial intelligence (AI) – offers new possibilities to overcome these obstacles. This special topic focuses on the integration of computational materials science and AI, highlighting their applications in bridging different-scale models, towards a better explanation/prediction of relevant experimental observations.
