Advances in Mathematical Modelling of Composite Materials

Download or read book Advances in Mathematical Modelling of Composite Materials written by Konstantin Z. Markov and published by World Scientific. This book was released on 1994 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume contains papers of leading experts in the modern continuum theory of composite materials. The papers expose in detail the newest ideas, approaches, results and perspectives in this broadly interdisciplinary field ranging from pure and applied mathematics, mechanics, physics and materials science. The emphasis is on mathematical modelling and model analysis of the mechanical behaviour and strength of composites, including methods of predicting effective macroscopic properties (dielectric, elastic, nonlinear, inelastic, plastic and thermoplastic) from known microstructures.
