Microscopic Approaches to Constitutive Laws in Solid Mechanics

9502020菲利普斯这种职业类型的补助金是为了改善在小尺度长度和宏观响应的材料行为之间的联系。 最近的进展，在原子模型的材料，现在允许直接计算的本构模型的问题，涉及位错结构和迁移率的变化与马氏体相变。 教育计划是试图使特定的课程更有趣，并帮助先进的本科生欣赏不同尺度长度的物质行为之间的联系。 ***

9502020 Phillips This CAREER type grant is to improve the linkage between material behavior at small scale lengths and macroscopic response. Recent advances in the atomistic modeling of materials now permits direct calculation of the constitutive models for problems that involve dislocation structure and mobility changes associated with martensitic transformations. The educational plan is to attempt to make specific courses more interesting and to help advanced undergraduates appreciate the connection between material behavior at different scale lengths. ***
