Ron Miller - Finite Temperature and Finite Deformation

25 Jun 2014   10:00-11:00

Finite Temperature and Finite Deformation: New Tools for More Efficient and Accurate Atomistic Simulation

Two of the important challenges to using atomistic simulation to study material behaviour are the roles of finite temperature and finite deformation. We discuss a new method for finding activation energies for atomistic systems and an improved method for accurately controlling the true stress in molecular dynamics simulations.

Ron Miller is currently a professor at Carleton University (Ottawa, Canada), and also a visiting professor at EPFL (Lausanne, Switzerland). He got his PhD in Mechanics at Brown University in 1997 and was a post-doc at Harvard, Division of Engineering and Applied Sciences, with John Hutchinson; a visiting professor at Brown, the Technion, INPG (France); a visiting researcher at CNRS (France); and an assistant professor at the University of Saskatchewan in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan.
