Presents Concepts That Can Be Used in Design,Processing, Testing, and Control of Composite MaterialsIntroduction to the Micromechanics of CompositeMaterialsweaves together the basic concepts, mathematicalfundamentals, and formulations of micromechanics into a systemic approach forunderstanding and modeling the effective material behavior of compositematerials. As various emerging composite materials have been increasingly usedin civil, mechanical, biomedical, and materials engineering, this textbookprovides students with a fundamental understanding of the mechanical behaviorof composite materials and prepares them for further research and developmentwork with new composite materials.Students will understand from reading this book:·The basic concepts of micromechanics such as RVE,eigenstrain, inclusions, and in homogeneities·How to master the constitutive law of generalcomposite material·How to use the tensorial indicial notation toformulate the Eshelby problem·Commonhomogenization methodsThe content isorganized in accordance with a rigorous course. It covers micromechanicstheory, the microstructure of materials, homogenization, and constitutivemodels of different types of composite materials, and it enables students tointerpret and predict the effective mechanical properties of existing andemerging composites through microstructure-based modeling and design. As aprerequisite, students should already understand the concepts of boundary valueproblems in solid mechanics.Introduction to the Micromechanics ofComposite Materialsis suitable for senior undergraduate and graduatestudents.
