Abstract:
Multiscale and multiphysics materials modeling addresses the challenging materials problems that involve multiple physical phenomena at multiple spatial and temporal scales. In this talk, I will present the multiscale and multiphysics models developed in my research group with a recent focus on energy storage materials and advanced structure materials. Our study of rechargeable lithium ion batteries for energy storage applications reveals a rich spectrum of electrochemically-induced mechanical degradation phenomena. The work involves a tight coupling between multiscale chemomechanical modeling and in situ nanobattery testing. Our study of nanostructured metals and alloys elucidates the effects of nanostructures on the size-dependent ultrahigh strengths and surface/interface-mediated deformation mechanisms. Finally, I will present my perspectives on the multiscale and multiphysics modeling that require a synergistic integration of engineering physics and applied mathematics, in order to design the advanced structural and functional materials to realize their potential to the full.
