Local and Nonlocal Micromechanics of Heterogeneous Materials - Softcover

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Valeriy Buryachenko received his MS degree in Mathematics from M.V. Lomonosov Moscow State University, USSR, his Ph.D. degree in Material Science from the Chemical Production Engineering Res. Institute in Moscow, USSR; and his D. Sc. degree in Mechanical Engng (Mechanics of Solids) from S.P. Timoshenko Institute of Mechanics (NAS of Ukraine, Kiev). He is the author of 160 papers in micromechanics and the books “Micromechanics of Heterogeneous Materials”, Springer, NY (2007) and “Local and Nonlocal Micromechanics of Heterogeneous Materials”, Springer, NY (2021). His main achievement is a development of a new (second) background of micromechanics of composites (the first background based on the effective field hypothesis was proposed by Poisson, Faraday, Mossotti, Clausius, Lorenz, and Maxwell, 1824-1880). It offers great opportunities for a fundamental jump in multi-scale and multi-physics modeling of a wide class of heterogeneous media with drastically improved accuracy of local field estimations.

He is a President of a small consulting company Micromechanics & Composites LLC.  Prior this, he works in the leading Research centers and universities of USA, Italy, Austria, and Germany. Prior this, he worked as a Senior Res. Scientist in the Research institutes and a Full Professor of Math in the Moscow Univ. of Chemical Engineering Industry, Russia

Von der hinteren Coverseite

This book presents the micromechanics of random structure heterogeneous materials, a multidisciplinary research area that has experienced a revolutionary renascence at the overlap of various branches of materials science, mechanical engineering, applied mathematics, technical physics, geophysics, and biology. It demonstrates intriguing successes of unified rigorous theoretical methods of applied mathematics and statistical physics in material science of microheterogeneous media. The prediction of the behaviour of heterogeneous materials by the use of properties of constituents and their microstructure is a central problem of micromechanics. This book is the first in micromechanics where a successful effort of systematic and fundamental research of the microstructure of the wide class of heterogeneous materials of natural and synthetic nature is attempted. The uniqueness of the book lies in its development and expressive representation of statistical methods quantitatively describing random structures which are at most adopted for the forthcoming evaluation of a wide variety of macroscopic transport, electromagnetic, strength, and elastoplastic properties of heterogeneous materials.
