Series on Advances in Mathematics for Applied Sciences - Vol. 15

ADVANCES IN MATHEMATICAL MODELLING OF COMPOSITE MATERIALS

edited by K Z Markov (Univ. Sofia)

This volume contains papers of leading experts in the modern continuum theory of composite materials. The papers expose in detail the newest ideas, approaches, results and perspectives in this broadly interdisciplinary field ranging from pure and applied mathematics, mechanics, physics and materials science. The emphasis is on mathematical modelling and model analysis of the mechanical behaviour and strength of composites, including methods of predicting effective macroscopic properties (dielectric, elastic, nonlinear, inelastic, plastic and thermoplastic) from known microstructures.


Contents:

  • Effective Field Method in Mechanics of Matrix Composite Materials (S K Kanaun & V M Levin)
  • Functional Series and Hashin-Shtrikman Type Bounds on the Effective Properties of Random Media (K Z Markov & K D Zvyatkov)
  • Bounds for the Effective Properties of Nonlinear Composite Materials (D R S Talbot)
  • On the Modelling of the Inelastic Thermomechanical Behaviour and the Failure of Fibre-Reinforced Composites — A Unified Approach (K P Herrmann & I Mihovsky)
  • Modelling of Elastic and Inelastic Behaviour of Composites (O B Pedersen & B Johannesson)
  • Random Structure Models for Composite Media and Fracture Statistics (D Jeulin)


Readership: Applied mathematicians.
