The implementation of MD simulation and its application to various aspects of materials science and engineering including mechanical, thermal, mass transportation, and physical/chemical reaction problems are illustrated. Innovative modeling techniques that apply MD to explore the mechanics of typical nanomaterials and nanostructures and to characterize crystalline, amorphous, and liquid systems are also presented.
The rich research experience of the authors in MD simulation will ensure that the readers are provided with both an in-depth understanding of MD simulation and clear technical guidance.
- Provides a comprehensive overview of the underlying theories of molecular dynamics (MD) simulation
- Presents application-based examples pertaining to a broad range of mechanical, thermal, and mass transport problems
- Explores innovative modeling techniques for simulating typical nanomaterials and nanostructures and for characterizing crystalline, amorphous, and liquid systems
Graduate students, researchers, and designers, from universities, research institutes or companies, in mechanical engineering, materials science, applied physics, bioengineering, chemical engineering, and environmental engineering
