Micromechanics Applications
In recent years, considerable interest has developed in micromechanical modeling of solids. This interest has been fueled by the realization that many materials have heterogeneous microstructures that play a dominant role in determining macro deformational behavior. Materials where this occurs include multiphase fiber and particulate composites, soil, rock, concrete, and various granular materials. These materials have microstructures that occur at a variety of length scales from meters to nanometers, and general interest lies with the case where the length scale is smaller than other characteristic lengths in the problem. The response of such heterogeneous solids shows strong dependence on the micromechanical ...
