The focus of the workshop will be on the atomistic simulations of point, line, and planar defects, and study of elastic and plastic deformation properties in metallic materials. Knowledge of crystallographic structure and properties is a pre-requisite. The workhorse techniques of molecular statics (MS) and molecular dynamics (MD) will be covered in sufficient detail. Applications of these techniques to classical problems in materials science, e.g., mechanical deformation, dislocation motion and interactions, nucleation and growth, melting and solidification, point defect behaviour, etc. will be presented.
