KM6384 Nano Mechanics and Materials

Friday 4pm-7pm (BS9)

Syllabus

Basic parts: Classical molecular dynamics in the form of Lagrangian and Newtonian mechanics, and the concept lattice as the basic concept of mechanics principles of symmetry and the crystallographic plane, the equation of motion Langragian lattice. Thermodynamics and statistical mechanics methods. Entropy and second law of thermodynamics. Statistical description of multi-particle system. Maxwell-Boltzmann distribution.

The second part consists of the introduction of multi-scale modeling. MAAD (Macroscopic, atomistic, ab initio Dynamics). Quasi-continuum method and CADD (coupled Atomistics and Discrete Dislocation). Introduction to scale linkages (bridging scale). Multi-scale Equations of Motion. Multi-scale Methods for Material Design. Numerical examples are Virtual Atom Cluster: Bending of carbon nano-tubes.
