Multiscale Modeling and Simulation of Mechanical Systems - 535.737

This course offers an in-depth exploration of the principles, methodologies, and applications of multiscale modeling for mechanical systems. This course is designed to bridge the gap between theoretical concepts and practical implementation, the course provides students with a solid foundation in the techniques that span multiple length and time scales, essential for designing and analyzing complex engineering systems. Through a balanced mix of lectures, discussions, case studies, and hands-on applications, students will gain proficiency in both microscopic and macroscopic modeling techniques, including the finite element method, molecular dynamics, ab-initio approaches, and data-driven methodologies. By the end of the course, students will be equipped with the necessary skills to address and solve real-world engineering challenges, making them adept at applying advanced modeling techniques in both academic and industrial settings.
