Abstract
Ceramics, as a class of inorganic and non-metallic materials, have expanded their range of applications in modern industries, such as automotive, aerospace, defense, and machining sectors. Methods such as finite element analysis allow researchers to model known ceramic materials in a variety of applications, structures, and conditions. Molecular models allow prediction of ceramic properties to very high accuracy and screen for new materials to act as tailor-made sensors, catalysts, etc., for specific applications. When combined with advanced characterization techniques, multi-scale modeling can pave the way for rational design of traditional and advanced ceramics, including composites, bioceramics, and piezoceramics.
