Modeling nonlinear material behavior at the nano and macro scales

Theoretical and computational methods have been used to study nonlinear effects in the mechanical response of materials at the nano and macro scales. These methods include, acoustoelastic theory, molecular dynamics and finite element models. The nonlinear indentation response of Ni thin films of t...
