Educational goal:

Theoretical foundations and numerical applications of multiscale modeling in mechanics, from atomistics all the way up to the macroscopic continuum scale with a focus on scale-bridging methodologies (including atomistics, coarse-grained atomistics, mesoscale models, computational homogenization, multiscale constitutive modeling). Phase field methods.

Educational outcome:

To acquire the theoretical background and practical implementation experience required to develop and use theoretical-computational tools to bridge across scales in the modeling of multiscale mechanics problem.

Course content:

Review of computational continuum mechanics, computational homogenization, discrete-to-continuum coupling techniques, atomistic methods, coarse-grained atomistics, quasicontinuum techniques, discrete dislocation methods relaxation theories, multiscale constitutive models.

Teaching methods:

Lectures, study research work and consultations. The lectures provide a theoretical part of the material using modern equipment and information and communication technologies. Through lectures, a student acquires and mastered contemporary scientific knowledge, scientific methods and procedures that enable him to become independent research work. In addition to lectures, consultations are also held regularly. Study research work includes all forms of teaching that are in the function of directly training a student for research, writing scientific papers and making a doctoral dissertation. Study research work includes active monitoring of primary scientific sources, organization and execution of numerical simulations and experimental research.
