Modeling Across Scales:

A Roadmapping Study for Connecting Materials Models and Simulations Across Length and Time Scales

Modeling Across Scales provides practical, concrete guidance in overcoming the challenge of effectively linking materials models across length and time scales and represents a significant milestone on the pathway to accelerating materials-based technological innovations. Compiled by a team of internationally recognized experts, the project was organized by TMS and sponsored by the National Institute of Standards and Technology, Materials Measurement Laboratory.
