T. Dumitrica (Ed.) Trends in Computational Nanomechanics Transcending Length and Time Scales

Series: Challenges and Advances in Computational Chemistry and Physics, Vol. 9

▶ Presents recent developments in theoretical and computational methods for studying problems in which multiple length and/or time scales must be simultaneously resolved ▶ Includes example applications in nanomechanics ▶ The only review volume to summarize important research efforts involving multi-scale methods and the solution of multi-scale problems

Situated at the intersection of Computational Chemistry, Solid State Physics, and Mechanical Engineering, Computational Nanomechanics has emerged as a new interdisciplinary research area that has already played a pivotal role in understanding 2010, XVIII, 620 p. the complex mechanical response of the nano-scale. Many important nanomechanical problems concern phenomena contained in the microscopic or the continuum phenomenological scale. Thus, they can be simulated with traditional computational Printed book approaches, such as molecular dynamics (for the microscopic scale) and finite elements Hardcover (for the continuum scale). More recently, significant advances in computational methodologies have made it possible to go beyond the distinct approaches mentioned ▶ 329,99 € | £279.99 | $399.99 above.
