The book presents a series of concise papers by researchers specialized in various fields of continuum and computational mechanics and of material science. The focus is on principles and strategies for multiscale modeling and simulation of complex heterogeneous materials, with periodic or random microstructure, subjected to various types of mechanical, thermal, chemical loadings and environmental effects. A wide overview of complex behavior of materials (plasticity, damage, fracture, growth, etc.) is provided. Among various approaches, attention is given to advanced non-classical continua modeling which, provided by constitutive characterization for the internal and external actions (in particular boundary conditions), is a very powerful frame for the gross mechanical description of complex material behaviors, able to circumvent the restrictions of classical coarse–graining multiscale approaches.

Uncertainty Quantification in Multiscale Materials Modeling provides a complete overview of uncertainty quantification (UQ) in computational materials science. It provides practical tools and methods along with examples of their application to problems in materials modeling. UQ methods are applied to various multiscale models ranging from the nanoscale to macroscale. This book presents a thorough synthesis of the state-of-the-art in UQ methods for materials modeling, including Bayesian inference, surrogate modeling, random fields, interval analysis, and sensitivity analysis, providing insight into the unique characteristics of models framed at each scale, as well as common issues in modeling across scales.

This book presents current spatial and temporal multiscaling approaches of materials modeling. Recent results demonstrate the deduction of macroscopic properties at the device and component level by simulating structures and materials sequentially on atomic, micro- and mesostructural scales. The book covers precipitation strengthening and fracture processes in metallic alloys, materials that exhibit ferroelectric and magnetoelectric properties as well as biological, metal-ceramic and polymer composites. The progress which has been achieved documents the current state of art in multiscale materials modelling (MMM) on the route to full multi-scaling. Contents: Part I: Multi-time-scale and multi-length-scale simulations of precipitation and strengthening effects Linking nanoscale and macroscale Multiscale simulations on the coarsening of Cu-rich precipitates in α-Fe using kinetic Monte Carlo, Molecular Dynamics, and Phase-Field simulations Multiscale modeling predictions of age hardening curves in Al-Cu alloys Kinetic Monte Carlo modeling of shear-coupled motion of grain boundaries Product Properties of a two-phase magneto-electric composite Part II: Multiscale simulations of plastic deformation and fracture Niobium/alumina bicrystal interface fracture Atomistically informed crystal plasticity model for body-centred cubic iron FE2AT ・ finite element informed atomistic simulations Multiscale fatigue crack growth modeling for welded stiffened panels Molecular dynamics study on low temperature brittleness in tungsten single crystals Multi scale cellular automata and finite element based model for cold deformation and annealing of a ferritic-pearlitic microstructure Multiscale simulation of the mechanical behavior of nanoparticle-modified polyamide composites Part III: Multiscale simulations of biological and bio-inspired materials, bio-sensors and composites Multiscale Modeling of Nano-Biosensors Finite strain compressive behaviour of CNT/epoxy nanocomposites Peptide・zinc oxide interaction

Multiscale materials modelling offers an integrated approach to modelling material behaviour across a range of scales from the electronic, atomic and microstructural up to the component level. As a result, it provides valuable new insights into complex structures and their properties, opening the way to develop new, multi-functional materials together with improved process and product designs. Multiscale materials modelling summarises some of the 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 covers such themes as dislocation behaviour and plasticity as well as the modelling of structural materials such as metals, polymers and ceramics. With its distinguished editor and international team of contributors, Multiscale materials modelling is 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. Reviews the principles and applications of mult-scale materials modelling Covers themes such as dislocation behaviour and plasticity and the modelling of structural materials Examines the spectrum of scales in modelling methodologies, including electronic structure calculations, mesoscale and continuum modelling
