Martin Oliver Steinhauser deals with several aspects of multiscale
materials modeling and simulation in applied materials research and
fundamental science. He covers various multiscale modeling
approaches for high-performance ceramics, biological bilayer
membranes, semi-flexible polymers, and human cancer cells. He
demonstrates that the physics of shock waves, i.e., the
investigation of material behavior at high strain rates and of
material failure, has grown to become an important
interdisciplinary field of research on its own. At the same time,
progress in computer hardware and software development has boosted
new ideas in multiscale modeling and simulation. Hence, bridging
the length and time scales in a theoretical-numerical description
of materials has become a prime challenge in science and
technology.
This work is a needed reference for widely used techniques and
methods of computer simulation in physics and other disciplines,
such as materials science. Molecular dynamics computes a molecule's
reactions and dynamics based on physical models; Monte Carlo uses
random numbers to image a system's behaviour when there are
different possible outcomes with related probabilities. The work
conveys both the theoretical foundations as well as applications
and "tricks of the trade", that often are scattered across various
papers. Thus it will meet a need and fill a gap for every scientist
who needs computer simulations for his/her task at hand. In
addition to being a reference, case studies and exercises for use
as course reading are included.
Devastatingly simple, yet hugely effective, the concept of this
timely text is to provide a comprehensive overview of computational
physics methods and techniques used for materials modeling on
different length and time scales. Each chapter first provides an
overview of the physical basic principles which are the basis for
the numerical and mathematical modeling on the respective length
scale. The book includes the micro scale, the meso-scale and the
macro scale.
