Abstract
This section is meant to complement the already extensive collection of articles classified in the following topical sections. In particular, additional applications of computational methods are discussed, which we believe will be of general interest to readers. They focus on different materials – ranging from graphene to titanium oxide to novel superconductors to cement to titanium alloys to glassy oxides and polymers – and/or critical material processes such as defect diffusion and fracture propagation, leading to degradation and failure. We will point out that some chapters can be related to several others across the sections of this part of the handbook (ACE) and add new information and perspectives. Connections with those of the companion set (MTM) will also be pointed out.
