An original comprehensive guide on computational nanomechanics
discussing basic concepts and implications in areas such as
computational physics, materials, mechanics and engineering as well as
several other interdisciplinary avenues. This book makes the underlying
theory accessible to readers without specialised training or extensive
background in quantum physics, statistical mechanics, or theoretical
chemistry. It combines a careful treatment of theoretical concepts with
a detailed tutorial on computer software and computing implementation,
including multiscale simulation and computational statistical theory.
Multidisciplinary perspectives are provided, yielding a true insight on
the applications of computational nanomechanics across diverse
engineering fields. The book can serve as a practical guide with
step-by-step discussion of coding, example problems and case studies.
This book will be essential reading for students new to the subject, as
well as an excellent reference for graduates and researchers.
