Synopsis

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.

About this title

Review

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.
