Abstract

This report documents the goals, organization and outcomes of a TIM on Computational Materials Approaches for Qualification by Analysis, co-organized by the NASA, NIST and the FAA. The TIM was held at NASA Langley Research Center on January 15-16, 2020. Approximately 60 SMEs representing 8 aerospace manufacturers, 7 government organizations and 2 universities participated. Expertise of the SMEs spanned the TRL scale from the low-to-mid TRL focus of government laboratories and universities to the high TRL perspective of the regulatory organizations and aerospace manufacturers. During this TIM, the future needs of the government regulators and manufacturers motivated the overall discussion and framed the input given by the government laboratories and universities. Hence, the key objectives of the TIM were to understand existing gaps in model-based (e.g. Computational Materials) processing and performance predictions for aerospace materials and components and forecast how they can be matured to support material, process and part-level Q&C. The TIM focused on process-intensive metallic materials technologies, including, but not limited to additive manufacturing. The output of this TIM may be used by both participating and other organizations, in part, as guidance for future national efforts on maturing Computational Materials capabilities for their use in Q&C of advanced metallic material systems in aerospace applications.
