Inhaltsangabe

In this, its second corrected printing, Zohdi and Wriggers’ illuminating text presents a comprehensive introduction to the subject. The authors include in their scope basic homogenization theory, microstructural optimization and multifield analysis of heterogeneous materials. This volume is ideal for researchers and engineers, and can be used in a first-year course for graduate students with an interest in the computational micromechanical analysis of new materials.

Über diesen Titel

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

AUTHOR BIOGRAPHY: T. I. Zohdi is currently Professor and Vice Chair for Instruction in the Department of Mechanical Engineering and Chair of the Engineering Science Program at UC Berkeley. He  received his  Ph.D. in 1997 in Computational and Applied Mathematics from UT Austin and his Habilitation in Mechanics from the Leibniz Universitaet in  Hannover, Germany in 2002. His main research interests are in micromechanical material design, particulate flow and  the mechanics  of  high-strength fabric, with and emphasis on computational approaches for  nonconvex multiscale-multiphysics inverse problems, particularly addressing the crucial issue of how large numbers of microconstituents interact to produce macroscale aggregate behavior. He published over 85 archival refereed journal papers and four books. In 2000,  he  received the Zienkiewicz Prize and the Medal, and in 2003,he received the Junior Achievement Award for the American Academy of Mechanics. He is a Fellow of the United States Association for Computational Mechanics (USACM) and the International Association for Computational Mechanics (IACM), and is  currently  Vice President of USACM, and will become the USACM President in 2012.

Von der hinteren Coverseite

The recent dramatic increase in computational power available for mathematical modeling and simulation promotes the significant role of modern numerical methods in the analysis of heterogeneous microstructures. In its second corrected printing, this book presents a comprehensive introduction to computational micromechanics, including basic homogenization theory, microstructural optimization and multifield analysis of heterogeneous materials. "An Introduction to Computational Micromechanics" is valuable for researchers, engineers and for use in a first year graduate course for students in the applied sciences, mechanics and mathematics with an interest in the computational micromechanical analysis of new materials.
