Summary:

This graduate level textbook on micromechanics and computational nanomechanics gives engineering students in materials sciences, mechanical engineering and associated disciplines a thorough survey of leading theories in the field. Li (U. of California, Berkeley) and Wang (Hong Kong U. of Science and technology) employ their own research to illustrate the foundations of nanocomposites, dislocation and thin film theories and configurational mechanics theory, and to introduce new analytical techniques such as Radon transform, surface elasticity models and the quasi-continuum method. The authors also include a rare section containing biographical information on important scientists who have contributed to micromechanics.
