Multiscale modeling of pure nickel

This chapter explores how the multiscale methodology is applied, a “structural” scale three-point bend experiment under large deformation for pure nickel. It shows the schematic representation of Bridge 1 between the electron and atom length scales and Bridge 4 between the electron and the continuum element associated with the elastic moduli results for nickel. The chapter describes the schematic representation of Bridge 2 between atoms and dislocations length scales and Bridge 5 associated with temperature dependence between atoms and the continuum for nickel. It also shows the schematic representation of Bridge 3 between the dislocation and the single crystal length scales and Bridge 6 associated with dislocation motion between dislocations and the continuum for nickel. The Bridge 7 concept calibrates a macroscale continuum model for the prediction of a face-centered cubic nickel material’s mechanical response to deformation. The chapter explains the schematic representation of Bridge 8 between the macroscale model calibration and the structural simulation.
