Atomistic and Continuum Modeling of Nanocrystalline Materials : Deformation Mechanisms and Scale Transition Atomistic and Continuum Modeling of Nanocrystalline Materials develops a complete and rigorous state of the art analysis of the modeling of the mechanical behavior of nanocrystalline (NC) materials. Among other key topics the material focuses on the novel techniques used to predict the behavior of nanocrystalline materials. Particular attention is given to recent theoretical and computational frameworks combining atomistic and continuum approaches. Also the most relevant deformation mechanisms governing the response of nanocrystalline materials are addressed and discussed in correlation with
