Multiscale Modeling and Simulation of Shock Wave-Induced Failure in Materials Science

Martin Oliver Steinhauser deals with several aspects of multiscale materials modeling and simulation in applied materials research and fundamental science. He covers various multiscale modeling approaches for high-performance ceramics, biological bilayer membranes, semi-flexible polymers, and human cancer cells. He demonstrates that the physics of shock waves, i.e., the investigation of material behavior at high strain rates and of material failure, has grown to become an important interdisciplinary field of research on its own. At the same time, progress in computer hardware and software development has boosted new ideas in multiscale modeling and simulation. Hence, bridging the length and time scales in a theoretical-numerical description of materials has become a prime challenge in science and technology.ContentsDefinition of Shock WavesMultiscale Modeling and Simulation in Hard MatterShock Wave Failure in Granular MaterialsCoarse-Grained Modeling and Simulation of MacromoleculesLaser-Induced Shock Wave Failure in Human Cancer CellsThe Future of Multiscale Materials Modeling Target GroupsResearchers and students in the fields of (bio-)physics, computational science, materials engineering, materials science, computer science, polymer chemistry, theoretical chemistry, nanoscienceMaterial scientists, engineersThe AuthorDr. Martin O.
