This volume elaborates on mechatronics as the synergistic
integration of mechanical engineering with electronics and
intelligent computer control in the design and manufacturing of
industrial products and processes. It considers the integration of
mechanical systems (mechanical elements, components, machines),
electronic systems (microelectronics, sensor and actuator
technology), and information technology. The book’s chapters
present the principles of mechatronic systems design and solid
materials in small elementary steps, provide an abundance of
examples, and feature problems that are as practical as possible
without becoming too involved with many extraneous details.
This volume enables readers to interpret and predict the effective
mechanical properties of existing and emerging composites through
modeling and design. The book addresses that materials and
structures with small-scale dimensions do not behave in the same
manner as their bulk counterparts. Once the dimensions of the
materials are reduced to the micron and sub-micron range, their
properties are subject to significant change. Thus, mechanical
properties will be varied and will depend on the sample size. In
the meantime, due to the large surface-to-volume ration of small
structures, deformation mechanisms are subject to change. This
volume integrates various approaches in micromechanics and
nanomechanics into a unified mathematical framework, complete with
coverage of both linear and nonlinear behaviors. It weaves together
the basic concepts, mathematical fundamentals, and formulations of
micromechanics and nanomechanics into a systemic approach for
understanding and modeling the effective material behavior of
composite materials. While providing information on recent
developments in the mathematical framework of micro- and
nanomechanics, the volume addresses highly localized phenomena and
a number of interesting applications. It also illustrates
application of micromechanical and nanomechanical theory to design
novel engineering materials.
This book provides a compilation of innovative fabrication
strategies and utilization methodologies that are frequently
adopted in the advanced composite materials community. It addresses
developing appropriate composites to efficiently utilize macro- and
nanoscale features. It covers a selection of key aspects of
composite materials, including history, reinforcements, matrix
materials, mechanical properties, physical properties, theory, and
applications. The volume reviews the research developments of a
number of widely studied composite materials with different
matrices. Key features of this book: Contains new coverage of
nanocomposites Reflects the latest theoretical and engineering and
industrial applications of composite materials Provides design
methods with numerical information and technical formulations
needed for researchers Presents a critical review of progress in
research and development on composite materials Offers comments on
future research direction and ideas for product development

Computational Multiscale Modeling of Multiphase Nanosystems: Theory
and Applications presents a systematic description of the theory of
multiscale modeling of nanotechnology applications in various
fields of science and technology. The problems of computing
nanoscale systems at different structural scales are defined, and
algorithms are given for their numerical solutions by the
quantum/continuum mechanics, molecular dynamics, and mesodynamics
methods. Emphasis is given to the processes of the formation,
movement, and interaction of nanoparticles; the formation of
nanocomposites; and the processes accompanying the application of
nanocomposites. The book concentrates on different types of
nanosystems: solid, liquid, gaseous, and multi-phase, consisting of
various elements interacting with each other, and with other
elements of the nanosystem and with the environment. The book
