...J. P. Hirth Throughout his career, Zbib was innovative, originating models in seminal papers that anticipated areas of subsequent increased interest. These include strain-gradient plasticity, discrete dislocation dynamics, multiscale modeling, arrays of Somigliana ring dislocations and nanoscale...

... material are traditionally evaluated at the engineering scale/macroscopic level. However, the strength measured at the macrolevel is affected by the chemical phase transformations due to hydration, at the molecular/nanolevel and the evolution of the microstructure. Multiscale modeling (MM) of materials...
