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.
