This course considers the multi-scale computational modeling of hard-matter systems, with an emphasis on the physical phenomena of matter transport and emergent macroscopic mechanical properties, and how their microscopic origin is coarse grained to the en ...
This course offers fundamentals concepts of material behavior under dynamic loads such as impact and shock. lt will cover experimental methods and analytical modeling approaches to describe the dynamic deformation behavior of metals, ceramics and polymeric ...
The course introduces dislocation defects, which are the carriers of plastic deformation in crystalline materials. Dislocations will be studied from both continuum and atomistic perspectives, and making connections to macroscopic plastic behavior with a f ...
