Integrative Computational Materials Engineering : Concepts and Applications of a Modular Simulation Platform.

Presenting the results of an ambitious project, this book summarizes the efforts towards an open, web-based modular and extendable simulation platform for materials engineering that allows simulations bridging several length scales. In so doing, it covers processes along the entire value chain and e...
