About the activity group
The GAMM activity group Data-driven modeling and numerical simulation of microstructured materials (GAMM AG Data) aims at coordinating the acitivities of the members of GAMM in the field of data-based modeling, simulation and analysis in the context of microstructured materials. The GAMM AG Data was jointly initiated by Felix Fritzen (University of Stuttgart) and Stefan Diebels (University of Saarbrücken). The proposal got accepted during the GAMM annual meeting in Braunschweig in March 2016.
In the recent years significant technological improvements have been made in the field of imageing based experimental setups. For instance, the quality and the velocity (i.e. frame rate) of computer tomography based imaging have both been improved considerably while, at the same time, X-ray computer tomography devices are now available in many research facilities. By virtue of the obtained three-dimensional images, microstructures of modern natural and artificial materials can be analyzed and used in direct numerical simulations. The incorporation of the three-dimensional microstructure information is however highly non-trivial from a numerical point of view. Special data-processing techniques that are able to operate on billions of unknowns are required, e.g., by making use of the advantageous properties of the Fast Fourier Transform (FFT). The development of algorithms and data handling techniques for the processing of three-dimensional data sets denote major topics of the GAMM AG Data. Innovative image processing techniques for automatic phase segmentation and microstructure reconstructions that are usable for finite element discretizations are equally important.

Nondestructive imaging techniques can further reveal geometrical information about the microstructure in situ, i.e. in the course of an experiment. The investigation and modeling of the microstructural changes (e.g. bonds that break; compaction in foams; fluid flow in porous media etc.) based on experimental data is another key topic.
The diversity of the GAMM AG Data is also exemplified by the fields in which the associated researchers operate:
- applied mathematics
- high performance algorithms
- convergence behaviour of algorithms
- preconditioning
- ...
- theoretical and applied mechanics
- constitutive modeling across the scales
- innovative multi-level constitutive models
- computer-assisted homogenization models
- ...
- materials science
- experimental techniques
- image processing
- in situ experiments
- ...
- high performance computing
- massively parallel algorithms
- efficient solvers for billions of unknowns
- large scale data structures
- ...
GAMM AG DATA Workshops
The TU Dresden will host the 2024 GAMM AG Data workshop (Markus Kästner & Team). We are looking forward to manifold contributions from our active field of activities. Additionally we would like to point out the 9th GAMM Workshop on Phase-Field Modelling will be held on February 8-9, 2024 by the same group of local organizers (details will be announced in due time; contact: agphasefield2024@tu-dresden.de).
Abstracts must be submitted in PDF and TEX format (including pictures) in order to easen the assembly of the book of abstracts - thanks a lot! :-) (see README.md for additional information).
Update: The book of abstracts is now online (open in new tab)
We are please to announce the annual pre-christmas online workshop of the GAMM AG Data to be held online on December 19, 2023. We are targetting the usual half-day format with talks and a virtual poster session.
More information is provided in the flyer (see link below). Abstracts must be submitted in PDF and TEX format (including pictures) in order to easen the assembly of the book of abstracts - thanks a lot! :-) (see README.md for additional information).
We are happy to finally announce the next in-person workshop of the GAMM AG DATA. It will be held March 20/21 in Stuttgart with local support by the group of Prof. Tim Ricken from the Institute of Structural Mechanics and Dynamics in Aerospace Engineering (ISD).
The Latex Template for the submision can be found below.
The workshop flyer can be downloaded here.
The book of abstract can be downloaded here. (last updated March 13, 2023)
We will repeat the format of last year's online workshop which, in our opinion, was an excellent end-of-year event with manifold interesting contributions. An avatar style online environment will be used for the poster session. For more information please refer to the workshop flyer and use belows link to access the LaTeX template for abstract submission (see README.md for additional information).
This year's workshop will be held as a half-day online event featuring innovative poster sessions in an avatar style online environment. Short presentations will be held before entering the in-depth poster discussions. For more information please refer to the workshop flyer and use belows link to access the LaTeX template for abstract submission (see README.md for additional information).
Update Dec 14, 2021: workshop program available
Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, this year's workshop is held in the form of an online meeting. We are looking forward to interesting scientific contributions alongside group discussions and virtual coffee meetings in break-out rooms. Participation is free of charge.
Stefanie Reese and her team (in particular Steffen Kastian and Robert Eggersmann) are organizing the new GAMM AG Data workshop in Aachen on May 6/7, 2019.
Benjamin Klusemann is organizing the 4th GAMM AG Data workshop which will be held at the Leuphana University in Lüneburg and at the Helholtz Zentrum Geesthacht. The workshop will comprise exciting keynote speakers and a lab tour.
Matti Schneider and Felix Fritzen jointly organize the third GAMM AG Data workshop. Although initially projected as a small scale working session, the number of attendees quickly grew and, again, some 30 scientists are joining the workshop.
Thomas Böhlke kindly organized the second GAMM AG Data workshop in Karlsruhe.
The first event of the GAMM activity group Data-driven modeling and numerical simulation of microstructured materials (GAMM AG Data) took place at the Universiity of Stuttgart on Sep 26/27th, 2016. The constitutional meeting was attended by 30 scientists. Many interesting discussions encompassed the scientific event.
