Applied Micromechanics of Complex Microstructures explains the fundamental concepts of continuum modeling of various complicated microstructures, covering nanocomposites, multi-phase composites, biomaterials, biological materials and more. The authors outline the calculation of effective mechanical and thermal properties, allowing readers to fully understand the step-by-step modeling and homogenization of complicated microstructures, and the book also features a chapter on microstructure hull and materials design. Modeling of complex samples with nonlinear properties such as neural tissue, bone microstructure, and liver tissue is also explained and analyzed.
