This book presents a unique combination of chapters that together
provide a practical introduction to multiscale modeling applied to
nanoscale materials mechanics. The goal of this book is to present
a balanced treatment of both the theory of the methodology, as well
as some practical aspects of conducting the simulations and models.
The first half of the book covers some fundamental modeling and
simulation techniques ranging from ab-inito methods to the
continuum scale. Included in this set of methods are several
different concurrent multiscale methods for bridging time and
length scales applicable to mechanics at the nanoscale regime. The
second half of the book presents a range of case studies from a
varied selection of research groups focusing either on a the
application of multiscale modeling to a specific nanomaterial, or
novel analysis techniques aimed at exploring nanomechanics. Readers
are also directed to helpful sites and other resources throughout
the book where the simulation codes and methodologies discussed
herein can be accessed. Emphasis on the practicality of the
detailed techniques is especially felt in the latter half of the
book, which is dedicated to specific examples to study
nanomechanics and multiscale materials behavior. An instructive
avenue for learning how to effectively apply these simulation tools
to solve nanomechanics problems is to study previous endeavors.
Therefore, each chapter is written by a unique team of experts who
have used multiscale materials modeling to solve a practical
nanomechanics problem. These chapters provide an extensive picture
of the multiscale materials landscape from problem statement
through the final results and outlook, providing readers with a
roadmap for incorporating these techniques into their own research.
