Summary:

Micromechanics in practice applies micromechanics to the analysis of practical engineering problems. It considers both classical composites, represented by carbon/carbon textile laminates, and applications in Civil Engineering, including asphalts and masonry structures. These considerably distinct material systems have as a common denominator the randomness of their internal structure. Also, because of their complexity, all material systems are studied on multiple scales. Since real engineering, rather than academic, problems are the main interest, these scales are treated independently from e
