Multiscale Modeling: A Review

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Practical Aspects of Computational Chemistry

Abstract

This review of multiscale modeling covers a brief history of various multiscale methodologies related to solid materials and the associated experimental influences, the various influence of multiscale modeling on different disciplines, and some examples of multiscale modeling in the design of structural components. Although computational multiscale modeling methodologies have been developed in the late twentieth century, the fundamental notions of multiscale modeling have been around since da Vinci studied different sizes of ropes. The recent rapid growth in multiscale modeling is the result of the confluence of parallel computing power, experimental capabilities to characterize structure-property relations down to the atomic level, and theories that admit multiple length scales. The ubiquitous research that focus on multiscale modeling has broached different disciplines (solid mechanics, fluid mechanics, materials science, physics, mathematics, biological, and chemistry), different regions of the world (most continents), and different length scales (from atoms to autos).
