INTRODUCTION TO MICROMECHANICS AND NANOMECHANICS

by Shaofan Li (University of California at Berkeley, USA) & Gang Wang (Geomatrix Consultant Inc., USA)

This book provides both the theoretical foundation as well as the authors’ latest contributions to micromechanics and its applications in nano-mechanics, nano-composites, dislocation and thin film theories, and configurational mechanics theory.

It serves mainly as a graduate textbook for first year graduate students in material science, applied and computational mechanics, nano-technology and science, and mechanical engineering. Also serving as a research monograph, it compiles recent developments in dislocation dynamics, numerical simulations of material failure and homogenization theory.


Contents:

  • Introduction
  • Green's Function and Fourier Transform
  • Micromechanical Homogenization Theory
  • Effective Elastic Modulus
  • Comparison Variational Principles
  • Eshelby Tensors in a Finite Volume and Their Applications
  • Micromechanical Damage Theory
  • Introduction of Dislocation Theory
  • Introduction to Configurational Mechanics
  • Small Scale Coarse-Grained Models
  • Periodic Microstructure and Asymptotic Homogenization


Readership: Researchers and educators in academics, first year graduate students in engineering mechanics, materials science, nanotechnology, mechanical engineering, civil engineering, and applied mechanics.
