Micromechanics of Heterogeneous Materials

The book features unified rigorous theoretical methods of applied mathematics and statistical physics in material science of microheterogeneous media. The prediction of the behavior of heterogeneous materials by the use of properties of constituents and their microstructure is a central issue of micromechanics. This book is the first in micromechanics with a useful and effective demonstration of the systematic and fundamental research of the microstructure of the wide class of heterogeneous materials of natural and synthetic nature.

This is a very timely subject which is a critical area of understanding for making breakthroughs in a wide variety of applications Presents a comprehensive and mathematically based approach to modeling of heterogeneous materials, not addressed in such detail in other books on this subject Takes on a multidisciplinary approach to the area of micromechanics, and includes both systematic and rigorous research and theoretical methods Written by a recognized expert in the field Includes supplementary material: sn.pub/extras
