TI - Micromechanics of composite materials: a generalized multiscale analysis approach SN - 9780123970350 AV - QC176.8 ABO U1 - 620.1/1899 23 PY - 2013///] CY - Amsterdam, Boston PB - Elsevier/BH, Butterworth-Heinemann is an imprint of Elsevier KW - Micromechanics KW - Composite materials KW - fast N1 - Includes bibliographical references (pages 943-972) and index N2 - A Generalized Multiscale Analysis Approach brings together comprehensive background information on the multiscale nature of the composite, constituent material behaviour, damage models and key techniques for multiscale modelling, as well as presenting the findings and methods, developed over a lifetime's research, of three leading experts in the field. The unified approach presented in the book for conducting multiscale analysis and design of conventional and smart composite materials is also applicable for structures with complete linear and nonlinear material behavior, with numerous applications provided to illustrate use. Modeling composite behaviour is a key challenge in research and industry; when done efficiently and reliably it can save money, decrease time to market with new innovations and prevent component failure.-- UR - http://www.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy1606/2012275130-d.html ER -
