MEAM Ph.D. Thesis Defense: “Coarse-graining of Atomistic Models to the Continuum Scale with Applications to Elastodynamics and Diffusive Processes”
Room 337, Towne Building 220 South 33rd Street, Philadelphia, PA, United StatesNonequilibrium phenomena are ubiquitous in nature as well as industrial applications. However, their modeling and simulation faces a strong compromise between physical fidelity and computational efficiency, with atomistic simulations and continuum descriptions lying towards the two ends of this spectrum. In this dissertation we will first revisit several continuum modeling strategies for the formulation of […]
