Advanced Materials Modelling for Structures

This book presents results of the IUTAM symposium "Advanced Materials Modeling for Structures," on advances in high temperature materials research, emphasizing multiscale approaches at several length scales applied to non linear and heterogeneous materials.

This volume presents the major outcome of the IUTAM symposium on Advanced Materials Modeling for Structures. It discusses advances in high temperature materials research, and also to provides a discussion the new horizon of this fundamental field of applied mechanics. The topics cover a large domain of research but place a particular emphasis on multiscale approaches at several length scales applied to non linear and heterogeneous materials.
Discussions of new approaches are emphasised from various related disciplines, including metal physics, micromechanics, mathematical and computational mechanics.
