Special Issue on Multiscale Modeling and Simulation of Physical Phenomena of Material Systems

Abstract

Complex material systems, especially at small scales, require the marriage of advancements of theoretical studies, exploitations of computational methods, and nontraditional experimental validations to unveil their underpinning mechanisms. The advent of superior synthesis techniques coupled with ever-increasing computational powers has enabled concerted effort toward design and development of materials with impressive functional characteristics. This special issue centers on the recent research advances in computational modeling, theoretical analysis, and experimental characterization of material systems at the nano/micro scale. This special issue contains five technical papers in the studies of nanomaterials, microcracks, and biostructure imaging.
