Minisymposium Title: Microscopic, Mesoscale and Macroscale Models in Mechanics
Minisymposium Description: A variety of important physical processes involve the interaction of atomistic, mesoscopic and macroscopic scales. For example, in materials science, defects are often described by invoking atomistic, mesoscale or fully continuum principles of mechanics. The development of viable theories for such physical phenomena can be challenging, touching upon issues of modeling, scientific computation and mathematical analysis in deterministic or stochastic settings. The purpose of this minisymposium is to bring together researchers who work in diverse fields of mechanics with emphasis on understanding the synergy of different scales, from the atomistic to the full continuum
