The multi-disciplinary character of the book has been encouraged by the current trend of development of science and technology for seeking a common base of understanding. Multiscaling in time and size, from fast to slow and small to large can assist the micromanipulation of atoms and molecules to tailor make structure- and bio-materials. The excitement lies in the likelihood that organic and inorganic matters might follow the same basic laws. The hope to discover the common denominator for all things has been the driving force for research in the past and will be in the future. The eighteen articles contained in this volume are evidence of the excitement that has generated in the application of fundamental science and high technology. That includes biology, physics, material science, mechanics, structural and processing engineering. Orders of magnitude improvement in the resolution of electron microscopes and accuracies of the electronic computers will no doubt continue to generate new discoveries and pleasant surprises.

The theme of the 21st century research has been directed towards understanding the microscopic factors that control the macroscopic material degradation and

9 sec for cyclic nitramines can trigger detonation of macro-size solid propellants. Such a phenomenon could not have been known without examining the intermediate products of the gas phase reaction which are µm in size. Similar mechanisms for intergranular nano-meter size defects discovered by high resolution TEM and SEM may also explain the initiation of stress corrosion cracking. Psychosurgery via the use of brain implants is finding ways to send signals to neurons for curing blindness and mental disorders. Different fields from material to life science are finding solutions to their long waited answers by reaching down to the lower size scale. The contributions of this volume are aimed to add to the progress of micromanipulation by relating events from a wide range of size and time scale although there remains to be done in multiscaling where equilibrium at a larger scale may involve non-equilibrium at a lower scale. That is macroscopic homogeneity may entail microscopic heterogeneity. Contained in this volume are approaches involving the analytical, experimental and physical modeling, each serving a specific objective. The ultimate effort is to find a common ground of understanding. To this end, this book has made a step closer to the goal.

This volume on multiscaling has been motivated by the advancement of nano-technology in the past four decades. In particular, nano-electronics has paved the way to show that the behavior of nano-size bodies are not only different from macro-size bodies but they do not obey the same physical laws. There appears to be a mesoscopic region which separates the laws of quantum physics and continuum mechanics. A gap has been left in the full range of scaling from macro to nano. Micro-manipulation can be made more effective if the atomic and molecular scale activities can be identified more precisely with the use specific objectives. In this respect, material science has already benefited by positioning and structuring of nanometer-scale particles to arrive at the desired macroscopic material properties. The idea has been implemented to tailor-make structural materials for the Boeing 787 to better accommodate non-uniform stress and strain at different locations of the aircraft. Explored are also the possibility of coaxing DNA-based organisms such as viruses to improve performance of batteries, solar cells, fabrics, paints and other kinds of materials. The potential of assembling bio-molecules to build electronic components is also in the planning. The manipulation of molecules and atoms has been regarded as a common base for both material and life science. Quantum and continuum mechanics are being applied side by side for exploring the behavior of small and large objects moving at fast and slow speed. The establishment of a common basis of understanding for all sciences and technology has encouraged the contribution of the 18 articles in this volume in addition to the need for mutliscaling in time and size. Although the various disciplines covered seem to differ at first sight, their aims are directed to associate macroscopic behavior with the atomic and subatomic particles. Such a trend is likely to be the rule rather than the exception in the 21st century as new discoveries in science are made at an alarming pace.

Dividing the matter into smaller and smaller entities has been the bias in the development of Western science for unraveling the secret of nature. When the size scale becomes increasingly small, quantum mechanics was devised to describe the behavior of electrons that cannot be explained by the laws of gravitation in general relativity. The confrontation between these two equally acceptable approaches, however, continues while awaiting for the discoveries of new laws and theories for their recon-citation. Off hand, there are issues that are not unrelated to the development of multiscaling models, a topic selected for discussion in this volume.

Physical laws and theories are intended to establish organizational structure and order in nature such that they can be used to widen the range of existing knowledge and make new discoveries. Telescoping and microscoping involve the observation of events at increasingly large scales and decreasingly small scale. Up to this date, the progress seems to have been rested at both ends of the scale range, the subatomic and galactic scale. One of the immediate issues is concerned with space-time dimensionality. This entails the transition of two-dimensional surfaces to the three-dimensional volumes or vise versa. That is to consider the increase or decrease of dimensionality as a matter of perspective. The underlying implication

is associated with the possible equivalency of particles and fields, the dualism of which has been taken for granted as a tradition. Entrenched in the indoctrinated discipline of particle mechanics is that the mathematical limit for an infinite numbers of particles would make up the continuum. Such an idealization has no room in subatomic physics since the vast space of the universe is likely to remain unknown. Even less is the number of particles required to fill a finite volume of space if the size of the smallest particle remains not known. Idealized mathematical models, however, do serve the purpose for testing and conceiving physical ideas. Conversion of volume integrals to surface integrals and surface integrals to contour integrals made, respectively, by applying the divergence and Green theorem do suggest that higher-dimensional and lower-dimensional realm are related. Classical mechanics defines tractions in two-dimensions while body force would require the third dimension. The trade off between the surface and volume energy density is also well known in the Gibb’s theory of crystal nucleation for determining the size of grains in poly-crystals. As a matter of fact, why shouldn’t surface- and volume-based quantities be related? The only reason is that by tradition classical continuum mechanics has chosen to develop theories by disconnecting surface from the bulk. That is by taking the limit of ∆V/∆A→0, an expediency that has severely restricted the use of continuum theories for small bodies with large surface to volume ratios. This happens to fall in the size range of nano-electronics. The aforementioned limiting process also entails the indiscriminate use of the bulk or equilibrium material properties. Although the approximation does no harm to large structures but it introduces serious errors for describing the properties of small devices that are predominantly in the state of non-equilibrium. Quantum mechanics was developed precisely to account for the non-equilibrating behavior of the atoms and electrons that are constantly moving. Incidentally, the use of equilibrium theory of dislocation at the atomic scale is an over simplification. It is also surprising that non-equilibrium continuum mechanics theory has not received the attention it deserves. The existence of non-equilibrium solution in continuum mechanics can be and has been proved in a space of isoenergy density although the solution may not be unique on account of the uncertainties involved of enforcing

scale. For an open thermodynamic system, the air molecules next to the system will not occupy unique positions in two different experiments. Non-equilibrium mechanics theories encounter the same uncertainties as in quantum mechanics except that they are stated in different terms. One basic feature is that space, time and temperature would all be coupled and they tend to interact simultaneously. This can be made possible by keeping dV/dA finite in the theory such that the surface and volume density would be related. Constitutive relations are no longer pre-assumed throughout the continuum but rather it is derived for each point and instant of time simulating the true nature of non-homogeneity that is intrinsic of the non-equilibrium process. Incidentally, the rate of change of volume with surface dV/dA can also be quantized and expressed in terms of the de Broglie wavelength in quantum mechanics.

Foreword

Scaling models attempt to circumvent some of the complexities encountered in non-equilibrium theories. This may be accomplished by segmentation of the scale range from macro to nano and from secs to femto secs. Each divided segments can be made sufficiently small to apply the condition of equilibrium. Singularity representation can be used to describe the combined effects of material, geometry and applied load which is well known in equilibrium mechanics. Stress singularity order serves as the scaling factor. The inverse square root of the distance from the crack tip, for example, can be regarded as a scaling factor between the local and global stresses and geometric quantities with reference to the crack. This factor would change for a concentrated load that yields an inverse of the distance from the singular point. This corresponds to the kernel of the Cauchy singular integral equation. The spirit of developing multiscale space-time models is to find simpler ways of addressing complex physical phenomena without violating the axioms of mechanics.

Large scale computations will not automatically distinguish the non-equilibrium

numerical inaccuracies, especially when the predictions are based on using equilibrium theories. Such a practice is not uncommon in the application of finite elements or similar techniques.

The holographic paradigm that has been receiving attention in modern physics may also benefit the development of multiscaling models. Physicists are faced with the same conceptual difficulties when the scale range is extended to the limits where continuum ceases to apply while particles step in. Under certain situations, physicists have argued that subatomic particles such as electrons are able to instantaneously communicate with each other regardless of the distance separating them. Each particle seems to know what the other is doing. This property is known to prevail in a hologram where every part contains all the information possessed by the whole. The whole in every part feature is similar to the brain memories which are not confined to a specific location but are dispersed throughout the brain. For the time being, at least an explanation can be offered for the coexistence of particles on the surface and the continuum enclosed by the surface. The holographic theory is that clouds of quarks and gluons on the two-dimensional surface can describe three-dimensional objects in the enclosed volume. Such a correlation plays the central role in the development of the string theory. Strings lying on a two-dimensional surface but with different thicknesses could be directed to the interior volume to form three-dimensional objects. The dualism of particle and continuum is thus made possible by the equivalence of particles on the surface to the object in the interior space. The interplay of surface and volume appears to be fundamental for the argument involving the co-existence of particles and fields. Even though the influence of dV/dA on multiscaling remains to be found, there are ample evidence from the past and the present to show that surface and volume effects cannot be separated. To iterate, equilibrium theories are vulnerable when applied to explain non-equilibrium phenomena. The dormancy effect of empi-rically designed miniaturized machines is the results of neglecting the dV/dA effects. That is frictional forces may no longer be independent of the surface area

as postulates in the classical law of friction. The cooling and heating behavior of uniaxial specimens that undergo non-equilibrium, has also been a fact ignored for decades. Open thermodynamic system data which are not in equilibrium have been misused for closed thermodynamic system theories. Such inconsistencies cannot be left untold in the text books and classrooms if modern science and technology are expected to advance in the future. The articles on multiscaling in this volume hopefully will provide insights to the need for distinguishing the fundamental difference between the behavior of large and small bodies.

Because of the unique character of the articles in this volume, the contributors

One of the messages of this volume is that fundamental science and applied engineering need much closer collaboration. This includes the manufacturing of nano-size components.

Abstract

Two different spatial levels are involved concerning damage accumulation to eventual failure.

nucleation and growth rates of microdamage nN* and V*. It is found that the trans-scale length ratio c*/L does not directly affect the process. Instead,

two independent dimensionless numbers: the trans-scale one ( )* * *V including the * * *5 *

N c V including mesoscopic parameters only, play the key role in the process of damage accumulation to failure.

The above implies that there are three time scales involved in the process: the macroscopic imposed time scale tim = /a and two meso-scopic time scales, nucleation and growth of dam-age, ( )* *4

N Nt =1 n c and tV=c*/V*. Clearly, the dimensionless number De*=tV/tim refers to the ratio of microdamage growth time scale over the macroscopically imposed time scale. So, analogous to the definition of Deborah number as the ratio of relaxation time over external one in rheology. Let De be the imposed Deborah number while De represents the competition and coupling between the microdamage growth and the macroscopically imposed wave loading. In stress-wave induced tensile failure (spallation) De* < 1, this means that microdamage has enough time to grow during the macroscopic wave loading. Thus, the microdamage growth appears to be the predominate mechanism governing the failure.

Moreover, the dimensionless number D* = tV/tN characterizes the ratio of two intrinsic mesoscopic time scales: growth over nucleation. Similarly let D be the “intrinsic Deborah number”. Both time scales are relevant to intrinsic relaxation rather than imposed one. Further-more, the intrinsic Deborah number D* implies a certain characteristic damage. In particular, it is derived that D* is a proper indicator of macroscopic critical damage to damage localization, like D* ∼ (10–3~10–2) in spallation. More importantly, we found that this small intrinsic Deborah num-ber D* indicates the energy partition of microdamage dissipation over bulk plastic work. This explains why spallation can not be formulated by macroscopic energy criterion and must be treated by multi-scale analysis.

1. Introduction

From damage accumulation to failure, there prevails an important time-dependent phenomenon involving spallation in which failure occurs under transient loading like nano- to micro-seconds. Experimental observations suggest a time-integral criterion for spallation [1],

*( 1) × t = K (1)

where σ and σ* are stress and a stress threshold respectively, t is the load dura-tion, υ ν and K are two parameters. This criterion indicates that the critical stress to spallation is no longer a material constant, but a variable depending on its load-ing duration. Furthermore, since the power exponent υ in the criterion is usually neither 1 nor 2, the criterion implies neither momentum nor energy criteria macro-scopically [1-3]. Comprehensive and critical reviews on spallation have been made [4-6]. It is stressed that “the continuum models based on the statistical nucleation and growth of brittle and ductile fracture appear to be an attractive approach, espe-

grain-boundary microcracks involve the cooperative interactions of propagating cracks. Insight into such processes is required from the perspective of stochastic mechanics and from computer simulations of the debonding of assemblages of grains”.

It follows that spallation is a typical process with coupled multiple space and time scales. At least, there are two length scales: the sample size at macroscopic level and the microdamage size at mesoscopic level. On the other hand, there are three time scales: the stress wave loading duration macroscopically, the mesoscopic nucleation time and growth time of microdamage. So, spallation represents an illustrative example with multiple space and time scales.

a coupled trans-scale framework is formed for the damage evolution [13-14], where ρ0 is density of intact material, λ is heat conductivity, θ is temperature and ediss is the energy dissipated in the material element.

In accord with Π theorem in dimensional analysis, 10 parameters involved in spallation (see Table 1), can form 6 independent dimensionless numbers. However, when Eqs. (6-9) are non-dimensionalized it is found that there are 5 independent quantities only.

In the 5 dimensionless numbers, there are 3 conventional macroscopic ones: the well-known Mach number, damage number and Fourier number, related to contin-uum, momentum and energy equations respectively. Consider the other two

This is

very different from all other dimensionless parameters. On the other hand, De* = tV/tim refers to the ratio of microdamage growth time scale tV = c*/V* over the macroscopically imposed time scale tim = /a. This is why we call it Deborah num-ber.

Above all, in the case study of spallation, there are three time scales: the macro-scopic imposed time scale tim= /a∼10–6 s and two meso-scopic time scales, growth time scale tV = c*/V*∼10–6 s and the nucleation time scale ( ) 1* *4

4. The Significance of Deborah Numbers in Failure

4.1 Imposed Deborah number governs the failure process

Note that the imposed Deborah number De*= tV/tim represents the competition and coupling between the microdamage growth and the macroscopically imposed wave loading. Also, in the concerned spallation case De*∼ 1, this indicates that mi-crodamage has enough time to grow during the macroscopic wave loading and then microdamage growth may be the predominate mechanism governing spallation.

All variables with bar above denote non-dimensionalized and normalized ones, hence the preceding dimensionless combination, i.e. the intrinsic Deborah number D , represents the magnitude of damage D. In the concerned spallation, this means a characteristic damage is of D ∼ (10–2 ∼ 10–3) .

Also, D* is a proper indicator of critical damage to localization. Damage local-ization can be formulated as follows[15]

It has been derived that provided the dynamic function of damage can be expressed by

Under a certain approximation the damage localization condition (12) can be ex-pressed by the following inequality [15],

V= ∼ (10–2 ∼

10–3). According to the localization condition in Eq. (14), there results in the criti-cal damage to localization Dc ∼ 4 10–3 [12]. Clearly, the intrinsic Deborah number D* does characterizes the magnitude of the critical damage Dc. Some simulations (Fig. 1) demonstrate that the intrinsic Deborah number does signify a certain char-acteristics in damage localization.

In the numerical study, a fixed De = De /D = 65.9 is taken. The most localized distribution occurs in the case of (De = 0.151 equivalent to D = 0.0023), whilst the case (De = 0.415 equivalent to D = 0.0063) demonstrates hardly localized distribution. This is in agreement with the analysis that lower D indicates lower threshold of critical damage to localization. In Fig. 1, is the plate thickness (sample size).

4.3 Intrinsic Deborah number signifies partition of energy dissipation

The energy partition will be clarified by examining the energy equation [16-17]. After splitting the dissipation term into damage and plastic ones, Eq. (9) may be rewritten as

p 2

0 V 2T T T X

∂θ ∂ε ∂Σ ∂ θσ + γ + λ∂ ∂ ∂ ∂

where Σ and γ are the total surface area of microdamage and corresponding equivalent surface energy in unit volume respectively. Certainly, the partition of plastic dissipation (the first term on the right hand side) and the damage one (the second term) are of our interest. Again, the dimensionless energy equation is:

p 2*

2D

T T T Y

∂θ ∂ε ∂Σ ∂ θ= σ + + Ψ∂ ∂ ∂ ∂

(17)

As before, all variables with bars are dimensionless and normalized, i.e. in O(1). The last term indicates the heat transfer and Ψ is a dimensionless number relevant to Fourier number. For aluminum, λ=238W/m⋅K, ρ0~2700Kg/m , cV~903J/kg⋅K,

. This implies that spal-

lation appears to be adiabatic. Now, the energy dissipation involved in spallation consists of two parts only:

plastic dissipation and damage dissipation. Examine the term of damage dissipation in more details. Approximately, γ can be estimated with (σYεY c ) and Σ with (nN c 4/V ) whereas the plastic dissipation with σYεY. therefore, the dimen-sionless and normalized combination preceding the damage dissipation term

is (σYε Y c ) nN c 4/V / σYε Y = nN c 5/V = D as shown in Eq. (17).

It becomes clear that the energy dissipation involved in spallation consists of two very different parts: plastic dissipation in O(1) whilst damage dissipation in O(D ), see Eq. (17). It can be said that the temperature rise in spallation is mainly due to plastic dissipation, since D <<1. Fig. 2 gives a numerical result of the energy parti-tion in spallation. One can notice that the damage dissipation varies around the magnitude of the intrinsic Deborah number D .

It is clear from Fig. 2(a) that the temperature increments induced by damage is much less that that induced by plastic dissipation. And the ratio of temperature in-crements due to damage over plastic dissipation varies around the value of D , as shown in Fig. 2(b).

Abstract

This work aims to develop multi-scale mathematical formulation and computational algorithm for modeling microstructure evolution and wrinkling formation in polycrystalline materials. A multi-scale variational formulation based on asymptotic expansion method, as well as associ-ated numerical methods are presented. Proposed is a consistent homogenization method that yields a tangent operator with major symmetry. The homogenized material response tensors vary in space in the macroscopic structures. This feature captures the local instability when the re-gional deformation gradient reaches certain ill-conditioned (non elliptic) state. Moreover, it is shown that the conventional non interactive single-scale homogenization approach is incapable of capturing the localized winkling response.

macroscopic constitutive tensor with consideration of microstructural deformation. Applied in [15, 16] is the micro-structure based homogenization method to com-posites under manufacturing process.

Despite considering micro-macro relation in these methods, nonlinearity of macroscopic structure has not been approximated thoroughly. In this work, asymp-totic formulation with consideration of the fully geometric and material nonlineari-ties in micro- and macro-structures is formulated, and a fully coupled multi-scale formulation by introducing an averaging field theory is developed to construct macroscopic material constituent where microscopic deformation is linked to mac-roscopic deformation at macrostructure integration points. The outline of this paper is as follows. Section 2 discusses multi-scale governing equations for large defor-mation. In Section 3, consistent homogenization based on an averaged macroscopic strain energy density computed over the microstructure is presented. This approach yields a fully symmetric tangential stiffness. A numerical example demonstrating the effectiveness of proposed method is studied in Section 4, followed by conclud-ing remarks in Section 5.

from which coarse scale solution [ ]0iu is obtained. It can be easily identified that

both the homogenized material response tensor ijmnD and the homogenized geo-metric response tensor ijmnT do not possess major symmetry.

3. Consistent Homogenization for Large Deformation Problems

To recover symmetry property in the material and geometric response tensors, we first define the point-wise macroscopic strain energy density [0]W as the av-erage of strain energy density in the unit cell as
