Abstract
Computer model calibration typically operates by choosing parameter values in a computer model so that the model output faithfully predicts reality. By using performance targets in place of observed data, we show that calibration techniques can be repurposed to wed engineering and material design, two processes that are traditionally carried out separately. This allows materials to be designed with specific engineering targets in mind while quantifying the associated sources of uncertainty. We demonstrate our proposed approach by "calibrating" material design settings to performance targets for a wind turbine blade.
