This volume is dedicated to Jacob Aboudi, a ?ne scientist who has
made seminal c- tributions in applied mechanics. The papers
presented here re?ect the appreciation of many of Jacob s
colleagues. A publication list f- lowing this introduction provides
an indi- tion of his distinguished academic career, c- rently in
its ?fth decade, and the breadth of hisknowledge. His
papersconsistentlydem- strate originality, innovation and
diligence. This list uncovers the methodical work of a dedicated
researcher whose achievements established him as a leading
authority in the area of mathematical modeling of the beh- ior of
heterogeneous materials, the area which became known as
homogenization theory. Starting in 1981, Jacob established a
micromechanical model known as the Method of Cells (MOC) which
evolved into the Generalized Method of Cells (GMC) that predicts
the macroscopic response of composite materials as a function of
the pr- erties, volume fractions, shapes, and constitutive behavior
of its constituents. The versatility of the model has been
demonstrated to effectively incorporate various types of
constituent material behavior (i. e., both coupled and uncoupled
mecha- cal, thermal, electrical and magnetic effects). As a result
of its potential in providing an ef?cient tool for the emerging
?eld of multiscale analysis, the method gained increasing attention
and became a subject for further research."
