$120.00
USDAn original comprehensive guide on computational nanomechanics discussing basic concepts and implications in areas such as computational physics, materials, mechanics and engineering as well as several other interdisciplinary avenues. This book makes the underlying theory accessible to readers without specialised training or extensive background in quantum physics, statistical mechanics, or theoretical chemistry. It combines a careful treatment of theoretical concepts with a detailed tutorial on computer software and computing implementation, including multiscale simulation and computational statistical theory. Multidisciplinary perspectives are provided, yielding a true insight on the applications of computational nanomechanics across diverse engineering fields. The book can serve as a practical guide with step-by-step discussion of coding, example problems and case studies. This book will be essential reading for students new to the subject, as well as an excellent reference for graduates and researchers.
- Includes interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary perspectives, showing the applications of computational nanomechanics in different engineering fields
- Introduces the complex computational physics theory step-by-step using ordinary engineering language explanations, detailed derivations that are often missing in physics literature, and examples throughout
- Provides hands-on examples and experiences so that readers can gain in-depth knowledge and learn essential skills without in-person teaching
