[Information] >Introduction Introduction Area : Mechanical Systems Analysis and Solid Mechanics Subarea : Solid Mechanics 1, Abstract We research the solid mechanics field where much attention is paid to the multi-scale modeling and analyses. In order to link the hierarchical solid mechanics phenomena together, our research field ranges from the first principle calculation (ab-initio calculations) to get the electronic states information under the external loading, the mezoscopic simulations which represent the collective mechanical behavior of defects like the dislocation and the macroscopic elastic-plastic finite element simulations. Moreover, we have been put much efforts to perform the noteworthy experiments and to develop the new experimental technique as well. The former is concerning the nano-indentation, the in-situ observation of the mechanical testing. The latter is related to the focus ion beam (FIB) applied technique and the new scanning electron-induced acoustic microscopy (SEAM). We have also been collaborating to the dentists. Developing the three-dimensional finite element analyses of the occlusive force and moment balance, our numerical analysis information is coupled with the dental treatments. We aim to build up the ideal occlusive master curved surface from the mechanics standpoint. Fig.1 Dislocation network observation under nano-indentation of single crystal silicon or aluminum.

Improving the first principle calculations for practical multinary compounds and non-periodic structures containing some defects, new computational mechanics system with multiscalability has been developed. It can evaluate the material properties of nanostructured materials and also trace dynamics of mechanical structures assembled on nano-scale. The focus ion beam technology is available to innovate the nanostructures. which should be integrated from the nanoengineering view points by the newly developed concurrent computationalmechanics system.
