Title: Multiscale Modeling of Polymeric and Metallic Materials based on Molecular Dynamics

Location: L2
Date: November 1st, 2012
Time: 11am - 12noon

Abstract:
Molecular dynamics (MD) has emerged as a powerful computational tool for simulating material behavior at the atomic scale. In spite of limited length and time scales, these simulations sufficiently elucidate the fundamental mechanisms responsible for characteristic deformation and failure behavior of different materials. Such information can be used to construct a physics-based constitutive model, perform specific test of assumptions in the continuum models and remove phenomenology associated with continuum models by concurrently coupling continuum-MD domains.

All are invited to attend.
