Computational Nanomechanics of Materials
Abstract
This workshop is co-sponsored by the National Science Foundation the Army Research Office the US Association for Computational Mechanics the Oak Ridge National Laboratory - Fusion Materials Program. It provides a forum to assess the status of computational nanomechanics research and education and serves to educate junior researchers (primarily junior faculty members) in this emerging field. In addition to the education provided the workshop has also resulted in several recommendations of future research directions. The recommended focuses of future research are: (1) integration of nanostructure elements and the accompanying nanomechanics; (2) the issue of multiple time scales in nanomechanics; (3) nanomechanics of the interface between soft biological systems and harder solid structures at the nanoscale and (4) cross fertilization of physics, chemistry, materials science, continuum mechanics, and computation.
