Atomistic and Continuum Modeling of Nanocrystalline Materials: Deformation Mechanisms and Scale Transition

Front Cover
Springer Science & Business Media, Mar 17, 2010 - Technology & Engineering - 480 pages

Atomistic and Continuum Modeling of Nanocrystalline Materials develops a complete and rigorous state-of-the-art analysis of the modeling of the mechanical behavior of nanocrystalline (NC) materials. Among other key topics, the material focuses on the novel techniques used to predict the behavior of nanocrystalline materials. Particular attention is given to recent theoretical and computational frameworks combining atomistic and continuum approaches. Also, the most relevant deformation mechanisms governing the response of nanocrystalline materials are addressed and discussed in correlation with available experimental data.
