Presenting cutting-edge research and development within multiscale
modeling techniques and frameworks, Multiscale Analysis of Deformation
and Failure of Materials systematically describes the background,
principles and methods within this exciting new & interdisciplinary
field.
The author's approach emphasizes the principles and methods of atomistic
simulation and its transition to the nano and sub-micron scale of a
continuum, which is technically important for nanotechnology and
biotechnology. He also pays close attention to multiscale analysis
across the micro/meso/macroscopy of a continuum, which has a broad scope
of applications encompassing different disciplines and practices, and is
an essential extension of mesomechanics.
Of equal interest to engineers, scientists, academics and students,
Multiscale Analysis of Deformation and Failure of Materials is a
multidisciplinary text relevant to those working in the areas of
materials science, solid and computational mechanics, bioengineering and
biomaterials, and aerospace, automotive, civil, and environmental
engineering.
- Provides a deep understanding of multiscale analysis and its
implementation
- Shows in detail how multiscale models can be developed from practical
problems and how to use the multiscale methods and software to carry
out simulations
- Discusses two interlinked categories of multiscale analysis; analysis
spanning from the atomistic to the micro-continuum scales, and
analysis across the micro/meso/macro scale of continuum.
