Multiscale Modeling of Physics and Mechanics of Micro-/Nano-structured Materials

The features of materials at micro-/nano-scales, for example, dislocations, impurities, phase/grain boundaries, and phase segregations, play critical roles for the material performance at macroscale such as toughness, thermal conductivities, and charge carrier mobilities. Multiscale computer simulations have been manifested to be versatile tools bridging nano-/micro-scaled structures and macroscale material properties, allowing for revelation of the processing-structure-property (PSP) relationship to promote material performance as well as discovery of novel materials. Multiscale simulations also provide an effective route to unravel the structure-property relationship in materials of complex microstructures (e.g., additive manufactured parts) or alloy compositions (e.g., high-entropy alloys). In this minisymposium, we welcome researchers around the world to present their latest works in multiscale modeling of physics and mechanics of micro-/nano-structured materials, and their implications in material and device performance include, but not restricted to the following applications:
• Structural and morphological properties
• Mechanical properties
• Thermal transport
• Charge carrier transport
• Prediction and discovery
