Basic papers and references in multiscale modeling and simulations

Submitted by chandrashekhar… on Mon, 09/23/2013 - 12:13

Dear all,

Can you please suggest me some basic papers and references in multiscale modeling and simulation of materials. I am quite naive in this field. I have some exposure to solid mechanics and finite element techniques. I understand that I need to study molecular dynamic simulations also, where again I need advice for basic references. I would be thankful for your help.

Thanks and regards,

Shekhar
