Atomistic and Continuum Modeling of Nanocrystalline Materials

Deformation Mechanisms and Scale Transition

  • Meets the high demand for material dealing with nanocrystalline materials
  • Discusses new modeling techniques and their potential applications and possible extensions, such as molecular dynamics, strain gradient based finite element simulations, and novel micromechanical schemes
  • Presents novel models describing plastic deformation processes occurring in nanocrystalline materials including grain boundary dislocation emission
  • Covers the scale transition from atomistic to continuum
  • Shows how to construct and use a molecular dynamics code for practical use in the modeling of NC materials
  • Includes supplementary material: sn.pub/extras

About this book

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.
