Multi-scale structures, as found in nature (eg, bone and bamboo), hold the promise of
achieving superior performance while being intrinsically lightweight, robust, and multi …

Topology optimization was developed as an advanced structural design methodology to
generate innovative lightweight and high-performance configurations that are difficult to …

Metamaterials are rationally designed composites aiming at effective material parameters
that go beyond those of the ingredient materials. For example, negative metamaterial …

This book provides a self-contained introduction to the simulation of flow and transport in
porous media, written by a developer of numerical methods. The reader will learn how to …

Since their inception, computational homogenization methods based on the fast Fourier
transform (FFT) have grown in popularity, establishing themselves as a powerful tool …

One of the critical issues in orthopaedic regenerative medicine is the design of bone
scaffolds and implants that replicate the biomechanical properties of the host bones. Porous …

Physics-based electrochemical battery models derived from porous electrode theory are a
very powerful tool for understanding lithium-ion batteries, as well as for improving their …

This book aims to provide an introduction to dynamical systems with multiple time scales. As
in any overview book, several topics are covered only quite briefly. My aim was to focus on …

Usually one avoids numerical algorithms involving operations with large, fully populated
matrices. Instead one tries to reduce all algorithms to matrix-vector multiplications involving …

The lattice structure is a type of cellular material with trusslike frames which can be
