This book elucidates the most recent and highly original
developments in the fields of micro- and nanomechanics and the
corresponding homogenization techniques that can be reliably
adopted and applied in determining the local properties, as well as
the linear and nonlinear effective properties of the final
architecture of these complex composite structures. Specifically,
this volume, divided into three main sections-Fundamentals,
Modeling, and Applications-provides recent developments in the
mathematical framework of micro- and nanomechanics, including
Green's function and Eshelby's inclusion problem, molecular
mechanics, molecular dynamics, atomistic based continuum,
multiscale modeling, and highly localized phenomena such as
microcracks and plasticity. It is a compilation of the most recent
efforts by a group of the world's most talented and respected
researchers. Ideal for graduate students in aerospace, mechanical,
civil, material science, life sciences, and biomedical engineering,
researchers, practicing engineers, and consultants, the book
provides a unified approach in compiling micro- and nano-scale
phenomena. * Elucidates recent and highly original developments in
the fields of micromechanics and nanomechanics and the
corresponding homogenization techniques; * Includes several new
topics that are not covered in the current literature, such as
micromechanics of metamaterials, electrical conductivity of CNT and
graphene nanocomposites, ferroelectrics, piezoelectric, and
electromagnetic materials; * Addresses highly localized phenomena
such as coupled field problems, microcracks, inelasticity,
dispersion of CNTs, synthesis, characterization and a number of
interesting applications; * Maximizes readers' ability to apply
theories of micromechanics and nanomechanics to heterogeneous
solids; * Illustrates application of micro- and nanomechanical
theory to design novel composite and nanocomposite materials.
