This work gives a modern, up-to-date account of recent developments in
computational multiscale mechanics. Both upscaling and concurrent
computing methodologies will be addressed for a range of application
areas in computational solid and fluid mechanics: Scale transitions in
materials, turbulence in fluid-structure interaction problems,
multiscale/multilevel optimization, multiscale poromechanics.
A Dutch-German research group that consists of qualified and well-known
researchers in the field has worked for six years on the topic of
computational multiscale mechanics. This text provides a unique
opportunity to consolidate and disseminate the knowledge gained in this
project. The addition of chapters written by experts outside this
working group provides a broad and multifaceted view of this rapidly
evolving field.
