Description

Applied Micromechanics of Complex Microstructures: Computational Modeling and Numerical Characterization explains the fundamental concepts of continuum modeling of various complicated microstructures, covering nanocomposites, multi-phase composites, biomaterials, biological materials, and more. The book's authors outline the calculation of effective mechanical and thermal properties, allowing readers to fully understand step-by-step modeling and homogenization of complicated microstructures. The book also features a chapter on microstructure hull and materials design, along with the modeling of complex samples with nonlinear properties such as neural tissue, bone microstructure, and liver tissue.
