Continuum Scale Simulation of Engineering Materials

Description

WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH, 2004. - 835 pp. This book presents our current knowledge and understanding of continuum-based concepts behind computational methods used for microstructure and process simulation of engineering materials above the atomic scale. Divided into three main parts, the volume provides an excellent overview on the different methods, comparing the different methods in terms of their respective particular weaknesses and advantages. This trains readers to identify appropriate approaches to the new challenges that emerge every day in this exciting domain. The first part is a basic overview covering fundamental key methods in the field of continuum scale materials simulation. The second one then goes on to look at applications of these methods to the prediction of microstructures, dealing with explicit simulation examples, while the third part discusses example applications in the field of process simulation. By presenting a spectrum of different computational approaches to materials, the book aims to initiate the development of corresponding virtual laboratories in the industry in which these methods are exploited. As such, it addresses graduates and undergraduates, lecturers, materials scientists and engineers, physicists, biologists, chemists, mathematicians, and mechanical engineers.Computer Simulation of Diffusion Controlled Phase Transformations Introduction to Phase-field Method of Microstructure Evolution Cellular, Lattice Gas, and Boltzmann Automata The Monte Carlo Method Crystal Plasticity Yield Surface Plasticity and Anisotropy Artificial Neural Networks Multiscale Discrete Dislocation Dynamics Plasticity Physically Based Models for Industrial Materials: What For?
