Models and simulations are widely being used for design, optimization, fault detection and diagnosis, and various other decision-making purposes. Increasingly, models are developed at different scales and levels, all the way from molecular level to the large-scale process systems scale. Modelling of Chemical Process Systems gives readers a feel for the multiscale modelling. As models have been developed for various applications, a general systematic method for building model has emerged. This book starts with the history of modelling and its usefulness, describing modelling steps in detail. Examples have been chosen carefully from both conventional chemical process systems to contemporary systems, including fuel cell and bioprocesses. Modelling theories are complemented with case studies that explain step-by-step modelling methodologies. This book also introduces the application of machine learning techniques to model chemical process systems. This makes the book an indispensable reference for academics and professionals working in modelling and simulation.

Typical damage mechanisms of matrix cracking, interface debonding and oxidation, and fiber’s oxidation and fracture are considered in the micromechanical analysis. Effects of composite’s constituent properties, peak stress, and testing temperature on the composite’s strain response and lifetime are also analyzed in detail. Finally, a comparison of constant and different stochastic stress spectrum on composite’s damage evolution and fracture is discussed. This book will be a practical guide for the material researcher and component designer needing to better understand the composite’s damage and fracture behavior under stress-rupture loading at intermediate temperatures.
