Computational Methods in Micro- and Nano-Structures
Last Updated: 2026-02-05 15:10:22
Abstract
Fundamentals of computational modeling of micro- and nanostructures are treated, including the basics of molecular dynamics, microstructure scale crystal plasticity modeling and cellular automata methods. The different computational methods presented are taught with an emphasis on materials modeling.
Objective
Microstructures and especially nanostructures involve very few grains or even molecular layers. Conventional continuum mechanical modeling is no longer valid for these structures. This course treats computational methods, which include a description of material behavior at the microstructure scale, and can therefore be implemented in modeling micro- and nano-structures.
