We are inviting abstracts for the following special session: Multiscale Computational Nanomechanics, Sixth MIT conference on Computational Fluid and Solid Mechanics, June 15-17, 2011, Cambridge, MA, USA.
http://www.sixthmitconference.org/
Abstract submission deadline: February 15, 2011.
The topics covered by this special session include (but are not limited to):
-Continuum modeling incorporating nanoscale effects
- Coupling between atomistic and continuum models
- Innovative methods and algorithms for solving atomistic simulations (e.g. ab initio or Molecular Dynamics)
- self assembly of nanostructures such as quantum dots, or nanostructure growth, adhesion in nanosystems
- Challenging atomistic simulations
- Multiscale modeling of biomaterials (e.g. hard/soft tissues, cells, cytoskeleton)
- Nanoscale solid-fluid interactions (e.g. microfluidic devices)
- Nanoscale contact mechanics (e.g. nanoindentation and AFM studies)
