| Computational nanomechanics is emerging as a fundamental engineering
analysis tool for the design of nanodevices and for the modelling of phenomena at the
nanoscale. Multiple length scale problems involving the interplay of quantum
mechanics-molecular dynamics-mesomechanics-and continuum mechanics, are of particular
interest. Multi-physics problems, involving the interaction of mechanical, electrical,
chemical, and optical fields are subjects of inquiry. Also, multi-time-scale problems
involving the interaction of systems governed by fast time scales, with systems governed
by slower time scales, are of emerging importance in computational nano-meso-macro
engineering. |
