Analysis And Computation Of Microstructure In Finite Plasticity

Download or read book Analysis and Computation of Microstructure in Finite Plasticity written by Sergio Conti and published by Springer. This book was released on 2015-04-23 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book addresses the need for a fundamental understanding of the physical origin, the mathematical behavior and the numerical treatment of models which include microstructure. Leading scientists present their efforts involving mathematical analysis, numerical analysis, computational mechanics, material modelling and experiment. The mathematical analyses are based on methods from the calculus of variations, while in the numerical implementation global optimization algorithms play a central role. The modeling covers all length scales, from the atomic structure up to macroscopic samples. The development of the models ware guided by experiments on single and polycrystals and results will be checked against experimental data.
