An overview of the recent progress of research in computational physics and materials science. Particular topics are modelling of traffic flow and complex multi-scale solidification phenomena. The sections introduce novel research results of experts from a considerable diversity of disciplines such as physics, mathematical and computational modelling, nonlinear dynamics, materials sciences, statistical mechanics and foundry technique. The book intends to create a comprehensive and coherent image of the current research status and illustrates new simulation results of transport and interface dynamics by high resolution graphics. Various possible perspectives are formulated for future activities. Special emphasis is laid on exchanging experiences concerning numerical tools and on the bridging of the scales as is necessary in a variety of scientific and engineering applications. An interesting possibility along this line was the coupling of different computational approaches leading to hybrid simulations.
Computational Materials Engineering is an advanced introduction to
the computer-aided modeling of essential material properties and
behavior, including the physical, thermal and chemical parameters,
as well as the mathematical tools used to perform simulations. Its
emphasis will be on crystalline materials, which includes all
metals. The basis of Computational Materials Engineering allows
scientists and engineers to create virtual simulations of material
behavior and properties, to better understand how a particular
material works and performs and then use that knowledge to design
improvements for particular material applications. The text
displays knowledge of software designers, materials scientists and
engineers, and those involved in materials applications like
mechanical engineers, civil engineers, electrical engineers, and
chemical engineers.
Readers from students to practicing engineers to materials research
scientists will find in this book a single source of the major
elements that make up contemporary computer modeling of materials
characteristics and behavior. The reader will gain an understanding
of the underlying statistical and analytical tools that are the
basis for modeling complex material interactions, including an
understanding of computational thermodynamics and molecular
kinetics; as well as various modeling systems. Finally, the book
will offer the reader a variety of algorithms to use in solving
typical modeling problems so that the theory presented herein can
be put to real-world use.
Balanced coverage of fundamentals of materials modeling, as well
as more advanced aspects of modeling, such as modeling at all
scales from the atomic to the molecular to the macro-material
Concise, yet rigorous mathematical coverage of such analytical
tools as the Potts type Monte Carlo method, cellular automata,
phase field, dislocation dynamics and Finite Element Analysis in
statistical and analytical modeling
Companion web site will offer ample workable programs, along with
suggested projects, resources for further reading, and useful
classroom exercises"
