Multiphysics Modelling: Materials, Components, and Systems

Multiphysics Modeling: Materials, Components, and Systems focuses on situations where coupled phenomena like thermal, flow and mechanics occur. Important fundamentals of the various physics that are required in multiphysics modeling are given before more advanced linear and non-linear behaviors are tackled, such as creep deformation and drapeability, noise absorption under thermofluid, and static and dynamic loading. In addition to theory, solutions to practical problems, such as when to use 2D or 3D modeling are addressed, as are the specific techniques for multiphysics modeling of high performance materials and energy systems.

Drawing on teaching experience, industry solutions, and the latest research, this book is the most complete guide to multiphysics modeling available for students and researchers in mechanical engineering, biomaterials, civil engineering and materials science.

• Provides a thorough intro to the theory behind multiphysics modeling
• Covers both linear and non-linear material behaviors
• Helps to answer practical questions such as when to use 2D or 3D modeling
