ABSTRACT
This chapter provides a road map to the multiscale modeling technique that will help the analyst to conduct simulation of their own in order to obtain material properties from the bottom up approach that is free from testing. It suggests that the full stress–strain curve should be generated through the molecular dynamics approach and multiscale modeling technique, which allows virtual testing forego American Society for Testing and Materials testing. Engineers must have data on material properties that represents the operating load environment during service usage. An attempt was made to provide a road map to engineers to use the bottom up approach by studying material properties from the atomistic perspective using the molecular dynamics technique, together with continuum mechanics, to generate the full stress–strain curve. The proposed multi-scale modeling approach includes the use of potential energy to establish the interaction forces between atoms including the analysis of defective regions within a grain of a metal matrix.
