Micromechanics presented in this Book are based on recent landmark published manuscripts with the first proof validation for the Rule of Mixtures and final accurate theoretical solutions for fiber lengths with strength and modulus. Fracture Toughness is presented for a bulk materials analyses requested by the U.S. National Academy of Sciences almost 30 years ago by accurate Strain-Energy Methods through Numerical Integration whereby the area under any data set can be easily calculated by computer spreadsheet technology. Fiber-Reinforced Composites are emphasized with leading-edge Biomedical Research presented for state-of-the-art Implant technology. Comprehensive, multidisciplinary topics range from accurate Fracture Mechanics with KIC analysis to Animal Testing, complete Free-Radical Science, advanced Structural Biology, the dominant fiber Cytoskeleton, and Computer 3D mechanomolecular Energy models described with hightech SEM, AFM, Fluorescent Cell Imaging and Bone Tissue Slides. The book is intended for Biomedical Researchers and Experts interested in Fiber-Reinforced Composites and advanced cutting-edge Biology.
