Features: This book primarily introduces numerical simulation and computational problems in materials science, divided into ten chapters: The first three chapters cover the mathematical foundations necessary for numerical simulation and computation, including methods for solving linear equations, finite difference methods, and finite element methods in numerical computation. Chapters 4 to 7 discuss numerical simulation in materials science, covering temperature fields, stress fields, and concentration fields in casting, heat treatment, and welding processes. Chapters 8 and 9 introduce the fundamental principles of phase diagram computation and related software. The tenth chapter explores quantum mechanical computation and the application of related software, MaterialsStudio. This book can serve as a reference for graduate students in materials science, as well as for graduate students in related fields, researchers, and engineering.
