Facilitating integrated computational materials engineering (ICME) in the digitized world necessitates facilitating a network of participants (material scientists, systems designers, software developers, service customers) to share material/product/manufacturing process/market data, information, knowledge, and resources instantly and collaborate so as to facilitate a cost-effective co-creation of value supporting open innovation. Industry 4.0, a transformative industrial revolution with its new product development paradigms like cloud-based design and cloud-based manufacturing, supports this need. In this paper, we present the architecture and functionalities of a cloud-based computational platform to facilitate mass collaboration and open innovation thereby supporting integrated material and product realization to institutionalize ICME in industry. We illustrate the efficacy of the proposed cloud-based platform using a hot rolling example problem to produce a steel rod. Using this example, we illustrate the utility of the cloud-based platform in seamless, yet controllable, information, knowledge, and resource sharing thereby supporting the integrated design of materials, products, and manufacturing processes.

基于云的材料和产品实现—通过工业4.0促进ICME

在数字化世界中促进集成计算材料工程（ICME），必须促进参与者（材料科学家，系统设计师，软件开发商，服务客户）的网络即时共享材料/产品/制造过程/市场数据，信息，知识和资源和合作，以促进支持开放式创新的经济高效的价值共创。工业4.0是一场变革性的工业革命，它具有基于云的设计和基于云的制造等新产品开发范例，可以满足这一需求。在本文中，我们介绍了基于云的计算平台的架构和功能，以促进大规模协作和开放式创新，从而支持集成的材料和产品实现，以使ICME在行业中制度化。我们使用热轧示例问题来说明所提出的基于云的平台来生产钢棒的功效。使用此示例，我们说明了无缝，但可控的信息，知识和资源共享中基于云的平台的实用性，从而支持了材料，产品和制造过程的集成设计。
