This book provides a detailed overview of recent advances in computational methods for linking phenomena in systems that span large ranges of time and spatial scales. Particular attention is given to predicting macroscopic properties based on subscale behaviors. The goal realized is the ability to use mathematical and computational tools to relate atomic or molecular structures to bulk materials properties, and hence to predict the performance of materials in real-world applications.
Given the book’s extensive coverage of multiscale methods for modeling both metallic and geological materials, it will be invaluable reading for graduate students, scientists and practitioners alike.
