Molecular Dynamics Simulation: Fundamentals and Applications

by Kun Zhou, Bo Liu

Overview

Molecular Dynamic Simulation: Fundamentals and Applications explains the basic principles of MD simulation and explores its recent developments and roles in advanced modeling approaches.

The implementation of MD simulation and its application to various aspects of materials science and engineering including mechanical, thermal, mass transportation, and physical/chemical reaction problems are illustrated. Innovative modeling techniques that apply MD to explore the mechanics of typical nanomaterials and nanostructures and to characterize crystalline, amorphous, and liquid systems are also presented.

The rich research experience of the authors in MD simulation will ensure that the readers are provided with both an in-depth understanding of MD simulation and clear technical guidance.
