EMA 4813 Computational Material Physics (3)

THIS COURSE COVERS NUMERICAL SIMULATION TECHNIQUES FOR PREDICTING VARIOUS PHYSICAL PROPERTIES OF CONVENTIONAL MATERIALS, NONMATERIALS AND BIOMATERIALS. EXAMPLE PROPERTIES INCLUDE ELASTICITY, VISCOSITY, THERMAL CONDUCTIVITY, DIFFUSIVITY, WETABILITY, PHRASE TRANSITION TEMPERATURES, ETC. THE GOAL IS TO USE COMPUTATIONAL MATERIAL TOOLS ( MOLECULAR DYNAMICS, MONTE CARLO BROWNIAN DYNAMICS, DENSITY FUNCTIONAL THEORY AND ETC.) TO UNDERSTAND PREDICT AND DESIGN NEW MATERIALS AND GUIDE EXPERIMENTAL STUDIES AT THE ATOMISYIC LEVEL
Prerequisite: Junior or Senior standing and instructor permission.
