Multiscale Materials Modelling: Fundamentals and Applications

Written by an international team of contributors under the guidance of a distinguished editor, this book summarizes key techniques and their applications. The various chapters cover the spectrum of scales in modelling methodologies, including electronic structure calculations, mesoscale and continuum modelling. The book discusses dislocation behaviour and plasticity as well as the modelling of structural materials such as metals, polymers and ceramics. Multiscale materials modelling will be a valuable reference for both the modelling community and those in industry wanting to know more about how multiscale materials modelling can help optimise product and process design.
