Klappentext
The scope of this book is to identify and emphasize the successful link between computational materials modeling as a simulation and design tool and its synergistic application to experimental research and alloy development. The book provides a more balanced perspective of the role that computational modeling can play in every day research and development efforts. Each chapter describes one or more particular computational tool and how they are best used.
Computational materials modeling is presented as a set of tools available for aiding the materials engineer/scientist
Each chapter describes one or more particular computational tool and how they are best used
Provides detailed examples of application to real problems
Suggests how to acquire the programs (tools) if the software is publicly available
Focuses on the integration of the modeling methods within experimental programs
