ME 6710: Nanoscale Modeling

3 Credit Hours
Prerequisite: Admission to the Master of Science in Mechanical Engineering program
This course aims at introducing methods used in predicting mechanical and thermos-physical properties of nanostructured solids to beginning graduate students. Various atomistic simulation methods including molecular dynamics and pseudopotential method are covered. Several hands-on simulation sessions are provided to give students experience on simulating nanostructured solids using these atomistic simulation techniques.
