    INTRODUCTION TO MICROMECHANICS AND NANOMECHANICS

    by Shaofan Li (University of California at Berkeley, USA) & Gang Wang (Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, China)

    Table of Contents (126k)
    Preface (107k)
    Chapter 1: Introduction (1,684k)

    This book provides both the theoretical foundation, as well as the authors' latest contributions to micromechanics and its applications in nanomechanics, nanocomposites, dislocation and thin film theories, and configurational mechanics theory.

    It serves primarily as a graduate level textbook, intended for first year graduate students in materials science, applied computational mechanics, nano-science and technology, and mechanical engineering. This book also serves as a research monograph by compiling recent developments in dislocation dynamics, numerical simulations of material failure, and homogenization theories.

     
    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.
     
    “This new book furnishes a most comprehensive and self-contained introduction to the state-of-the-art knowledge of micromechanics and nanomechanics. In addition, the way that the book is organized is very logical, and the presentation is quite clear, and the examples and excises included are excellent. These make the book very suitable and competitive as an excellent textbook and an indispensable reference for professors, graduate students and researchers who desire to learn and to contribute to the subject.”
