Presenting cutting-edge research and development within multiscalemodeling techniques and frameworks, Multiscale Analysis ofDeformation and Failure of Materials systematically describes thebackground, principles and methods within this exciting new &interdisciplinary field.
The author's approach emphasizes the principles andmethods of atomistic simulation and its transition to the nano andsub-micron scale of a continuum, which is technically important fornanotechnology and biotechnology. He also pays close attention tomultiscale analysis across the micro/meso/macroscopy of acontinuum, which has a broad scope of applications encompassingdifferent disciplines and practices, and is an essential extensionof mesomechanics.
Of equal interest to engineers, scientists, academics andstudents, Multiscale Analysis of Deformation and Failure ofMaterials is a multidisciplinary text relevant to those working inthe 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 itsimplementation
* Shows in detail how multiscale models can be developed frompractical problems and how to use the multiscale methods andsoftware 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.
