To develop a general MLPG approach for bridging the length & time scales and computational frameworks to address multi-scale / multi-physics applications, by integrating multi-scale algorithms, for multifunctional material systems.. The emphasis will be on the broad goal for simulating nonequilibrium thermal and shock physics at meso and microstructural scales where dominant physical mechanisms that govern reliability are beyond the reach of either molecular mechanics or unstructured finite element methods alone.
