Multiscale Modelling and Optimisation of Materials and Structures

The book addresses the parameter identification and optimization within multiscale modeling methods, presenting an important and challenging area of research. It discusses the basic principles of micro and nano scale modeling techniques, the connection of micro and/or nano scale models with macro simulation software, optimization development, and computer science techniques. The authors present several approaches such as bridging and homogenization methods, global optimization algorithms, and numerical examples of multiscale modeling, optimization, and identification of composite and functionally graded engineering materials and bone tissues. The book is a valuable source of information for young scientists and students looking to develop their own models, write their own computer programs, and implement them into simulation systems.

Multiscale Modelling and Optimization of Materials and Structures is a crucial and original area of research that enables the design of new materials and structures with better quality, strength, and performance parameters. It also enables the creation of reliable models that take into account structural, material, and topological properties at different scales. The authors' approach is four-fold:
1. The basic principles of micro and nano-scale modeling techniques.
2. The connection of micro and/or nano-scale models with macro simulation software.
3. Optimization development in the framework of multiscale engineering and the solution of identification problems.
4. The computer science techniques used in this model and advice for scientists interested in developing their own models and software for multiscale analysis and optimization.

The authors present several approaches such as the bridging and homogenization methods, as well as the general formulation of complex optimization and identification problems in multiscale modelling. They apply global optimization algorithms based on robust bioinspired algorithms, proposing parallel and multi-subpopulation approaches to speed-up computations, and discuss several numerical examples of multiscale modeling, optimization, and identification of composite and functionally graded engineering materials and bone tissues.

Multiscale Modelling and Optimization of Materials and Structures is a valuable source of information for young scientists and students looking to develop their own models, write their own computer programs, and implement them into simulation systems.
