Shanghai Jiao Tong University, Shanghai, China July 1-5,2013
This is an introduction to the theory underlying materials modeling and simulation at all scales. The authors have talked about the Elastic theory, the concepts for Molecular Dynamics(MD), Finite Element Method (FEM), Density Function Theory(DFT) and Quasicontinuum(QC). More about the contents can be found in this link.
The courses are given by Professors Ellad B. Tadmor and Ronald E. Miller.The authors have also privided the participants these two books, and they can be contributed to MPC library.
Day1: The introduction and continuum mechanics.
Day2: Continuum mechanics and FEM. And design problem about the using FEM to design a beam.
Day3: Crystal structure, DFT and Molecular Statics(MS). Using LAMMPS of MS, the authors have provided many scripts of vancancy,dislocation, surface, boundary, melting and stacking fault. These scripts will can be found in the following links.
Day4: MD related physics theory and simulations.
Day5: QC method and a beam design using QC code.
I have summarized a brief introduction of these contents, which contains the outline of the books and some nice examples, QC and KIM. The short scan can be found in this link.
