ATOA’s Material Design Services
Engineering Product by Material Design
Engineering is all about conversion of material into a useful product. Material Design Engineering is fundamentally about transforming matter into functional, high-performance products. Every industrial breakthrough, from the steam engine to modern nanotechnology, has relied on the ability to design, manipulate, and apply materials effectively. At ATOA, we extend this principle by offering multiscale, multimaterial design services—from the atomic scale to product applications.
Today’s engineering landscape has shifted away from single dominant materials toward multimaterial integration. This transition is driven by advanced manufacturing technologies, joining methods, and the need to optimize cost, weight, and performance. Materials are no longer just “inputs” from table for engineering design—they are designed themselves. ATOA’s Atom-to-Application modelling framework enables custom material design, tailoring composition, structure, form, and function to meet stringent, often conflicting requirements.
Materials are the building blocks of industrial technology. Traditionally, designers selected from existing material databases—steel, aluminium, polymers, ceramics—assuming them as “given.” But this approach limits innovation. Today, with MultiPhysics modeling, advanced fabrication, and digital engineering, materials can be engineered as part of product design.
This paradigm shift allows us to,
Reduce weight and cost while increasing performance.,
Create designer materials with targeted, structural, thermal, electrical, or optical behavior,
Achieve properties not found in nature through composites and metamaterials and
Accelerate time-to-market by replacing expensive trial-and-error with simulation-driven material selection.
ATOA’s Material Design Services
Multimaterial Design
The rise of 3D printing, advanced composites, low-cost lasers, and non-conventional processing enables true multimaterial product engineering. Instead of choosing a single material, designers can integrate multiple materials, each optimized for a different function.
For example:
Structural needs: High stiffness, strength, and fatigue resistance.
Thermal needs: High conductivity for heat dissipation or insulation for energy retention.
Electrical needs: Tailored resistivity, permittivity, or conductivity.
Composite Material Design
Composites offer design flexibility at three levels—constituent (fiber and matrix), product, and process. Unlike conventional materials, composites allow tailored properties, making them ideal for aerospace, automotive, energy, and consumer applications.
Our Simulation-Driven Composite Design Services include:
Micro-mechanics modeling: To design fibers, matrices, and interfacial bonding.
Ply mechanics: Optimizing ply orientations for specific load paths.
Laminate design: Determining stacking sequences for balanced performance.
Product design: Incorporating anisotropy and damage mechanics.
Failure prediction: Virtual modeling of crack initiation and growth.
Composite design involves vast design space—constituent choices, fiber orientations, manufacturing processes. ATOA’s virtual simulation platform narrows this space by physics-based performance evaluation, saving time and cost while maximizing reliability. We cover the entire composite value chain, from material design to application engineering to manufacturing strategy, and even condition monitoring for service life prediction.
Material Mechanics Modelling
Predicting material properties virtually reduces reliance on costly and time-intensive experiments. Our Material Mechanics Modeling capabilities include:
Virtual material property prediction: Elastic modulus, toughness, fatigue life, creep.
Constituent engineering: Designing base materials for enhanced strength or ductility.
Virtual experimental characterization: Digital stress-strain, fracture, and thermal tests.
Product & process performance prediction: How materials behave under real operating conditions.
These capabilities allow manufacturers to identify potential weaknesses early, reduce prototype iterations, and ensure first-time-right designs.
Multiphysics Design of Materials
Modern applications demand materials that meet multiple property requirements simultaneously. For example, an aerospace skin material may need to be structurally strong, thermally stable, and electromagnetically stealthy. A biomedical implant must be mechanically robust, biocompatible, and resistant to corrosion or wear.
ATOA’s Multiphysics approach integrates:
Structural physics: Elastic constants, strength, fracture toughness.
Thermal physics: Conductivity, insulation, heat resistance.
Electromagnetic physics: Permittivity, permeability, EMI shielding.
Acoustic physics: Sound transmission loss, bandgaps, noise control.
Transport physics: Diffusion, permeability, flow properties.
We deliver designer materials with extreme or combined properties:
Super-structural: Ultra-light yet ultra-strong frameworks.
Super-insulating: Low thermal conductivity with high transparency.
Metamaterials: Cloaking, superlenses, and negative refractive index.
Acoustic bandgap materials: Noise-canceling architectural and industrial applications.
Super-flow materials: Enhanced permeability for fluid and gas transport.
This approach enables weight reduction, cost savings, and property optimization without compromising on quality.
