This book aims to detect, critically correlate and properly assess the state of the art in the mechanical behaviour study for nanostructured materials material in the perspective of atomic scale simulation of deformation process. It provides representative examples of mechanical behaviour studies carried out using molecular dynamics simulations.
Molecular dynamics simulation is a significant technique to gain insight into the mechanical behavior of nanostructured (NS) materials and associated underlying deformation mechanisms at the atomic scale. The purpose of this book is to detect and correlate critically current achievements and properly assess the state of the art in the mechanical behavior study of NS material in the perspective of the atomic scale simulation of the deformation process. More precisely, the book aims to provide representative examples of mechanical behavior studies carried out using molecular dynamics simulations, which provide contributory research findings toward progress in the field of NS material technology.
