This work presents a unified modelling approach for homogenization and de-homogenization, applicable to unidirectional (UD) composite systems. Emphasis is placed on the uniqueness between the forward (homogenization) and the backward (de-homogenization) modelling processes; so the desired micro fields are truly recovered within the confines of mechanics. An inter-scale failure theory that describes matrix cracking in laminates is then formulated, being based on the recovered micro-fields. Laminate matrix cracking in several well-documented experimental studies are simulated using the...

She was one of the very few able truly to connect that divide, just as her heroines often disappeared inside it. She is the fallen angel of Chinese literature, and now, with these excellent new translations, English readers can discover why she is so revered by Chinese readers everywhere." -Ang Lee...
