Summary
"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."--BOOK JACKET.
