Uncertainty Quantification in Multiscale Materials Modeling (Elsevier Series in Mechanics of Advanced Materials)

Uncertainty Quantification in Multiscale Materials Modeling provides a complete overview of uncertainty quantification (UQ) in computational materials science. It provides practical tools and methods along with examples of their application to problems in materials modeling. UQ methods are applied to various multiscale models ranging from the nanoscale to macroscale. This book presents a thorough synthesis of the state-of-the-art in UQ methods for materials modeling, including Bayesian inference, surrogate modeling, random fields, interval analysis, and sensitivity analysis, providing insight into the unique characteristics of models framed at each scale, as well as common issues in modeling across scales.Synthesizes available UQ methods for materials modelingProvides practical tools and examples for problem solving in modeling material behavior across various length scalesDemonstrates UQ in density functional theory, molecular dynamics, kinetic Monte Carlo, phase field, finite element method, multiscale modeling, and to support decision making in materials designCovers quantum, atomistic, mesoscale, and engineering structure-level modeling and simulationProduct details Page Numbers Source ISBN: 0081029411 Publisher: Woodhead Publishing; 1 edition (March 10, 2020) Publication Date: March 10, 2020
