The science of emerging materials is now at the stage where many basic concepts have been developed, verified and demonstrated. The next stage involves an improved understanding of their behaviour through experimental, analytical and numerical modelling. Various configurations need to be tested, studied and modeled to produce effective designs in order to minimize design costs and create more efficient structures and systems. Testing and prototyping are always performed to verify the design, but simulation and modelling have become standard practice throughout the design process. Therefore, it is desirable to have, in addition to the experimental and analytical studies, adequate computational tools to predict the behaviour and response of these materials to the environment. In the last years, emerging materials such as magnetostrictive Terfenol and Galfenol as well as ferromagnetic shape memory alloy (FSMA) have been proposed for actuation and sensing purposes. The sensing response has also been extended to energy harvesting.

现在，新兴材料的科学正处于已经开发，验证和证明许多基本概念的阶段。下一阶段涉及通过实验，分析和数值建模对其行为的改善理解。需要对各种配置进行测试，研究和建模，以生成有效的设计，以最大程度地降低设计成本并创建更有效的结构和系统。 始终执行测试和原型制作以验证设计，但是在整个设计过程中，模拟和建模已成为标准实践。因此，除了实验和分析研究外，还需要有足够的计算工具来预测这些材料对环境的行为和响应。在过去的几年中，已经提出了诸如磁体曲折的Terfenol和Galfenol以及铁磁形状的记忆合金（FSMA）之类的新兴材料，以致动和感知目的。传感响应也已扩展到能量收集。
