Modeling of Metamaterials and Related Structures or Systems
Yunche Wang, National Cheng Kung University

Metamaterials and related structures or systems are of particular interest for their unique mechanical/physical properties. Metamaterials are man-made materials with strong human influences on their internal-structures, internal-mechanisms or internal-processes. Accurate modeling of such materials or searching for their unique roles in industrial applications may shed light on the developments of future emerging technologies. This minisymposium aims to discuss all computational aspects of the metamaterials and related structures or systems at continuum or atomic levels for their thermomechanical, electromagnetic or optical properties. Both of mechanical and electromagnetic metamaterials are emphasized in this minisymposium, including materials with ‘negative’ characteristics, such as negative Poisson’s ratio, negative stiffness or negative index of reflection. Furthermore, studies on multiphysical responses, such as dielectric, piezoelectric or stress corrosion cracking phenomena, are welcome. Extension to liquids containing multiple phases, such as colloidal particles, is also welcome.
