Diving into the world of atoms. This is possible through modern atomistic simulation methods, which enable the study of diverse material phenomena on computers.

Behavior of granular materials, the 2nd most manipulated materials in all industries, depends on grains’ structure and interactions. We incorporate these effects into the material behavior via a variety of discrete and continuum approaches.

Dislocations are defects in the atomic lattice of materials such as metals. They play a major role in inelastic deformation. Using the methods of continuum mechanics, their collective behavior can be described on the meso- and macroscopic length scale.
