ME 59400 - Modeling Of Micro/Nano Materials Systems

Credit Hours: 3.00. Students learn how to apply fundamental knowledge of materials science and solid mechanics to the modeling and simulation of nano/micro material systems such as interatomic bonding, crystal structure, crystal orientation, defects, elastic material properties, single vs. polycrystal, and viscoelastic properties. Students learn basic principles of 1) Creating micro/nano material systems: nanowires, nanoparticle-based systems, thin films, and polycrystalline materials 2) Simulating micro/nano material systems using Molecular Dynamics (MD) and Finite Element Method (FEM). 3) High resolution microscopy: AFM and SEM for characterizing micro/nano material systems. Permission of instructor required.
