About the book (from the publisher)
“Multiscale Structural Mechanics: Top-Down Modeling of Composite Structures Using Mechanics of Structure Genome” delivers a unified approach to composites modeling based on the concept of structure gene. Wenbin Yu, distinguished engineer, industry leader and author, brings together micromechanics and structural mechanics using the Mechanics of Structure Genome. This approach allows multiscale constitutive modeling for general anisotropic and heterogeneous materials and structures without invoking assumptions commonly used in other approaches.
The book introduces readers unfamiliar with vectors and tensors, continuum mechanics, micromechanics, and structural mechanics to the basics of each of these topics. It goes on to bridge the gap between micromechanics and structural mechanics, offering readers multiscale structural models that remain as simple as classical engineering models but with the accuracy expected of more complex theories capturing microstructural details.
