This book describes behavior of crystalline solids primarily via methods of modern continuum mechanics. Emphasis is given to geometrically nonlinear description

J.D. Eshelby's work shaped the fields of defect mechanics and micromechanics of inhomogeneous solids for fifty years, providing the basis for quantitative analy

The growing occurrence of heterogeneous materials such as composites or coated substrates in structural parts makes it necessary for designers and scientists to
