Micromechanics of heterogeneous media plays an important role in the development of new generations of advanced material systems, enabling efficient analyses of composite materials with complex geometries, circumventing the traditional trial-and-error approach, producing substantial cost savings. The unit cell problem to the analysis of periodic heterogeneous materials is explored in this book, with emphasis on the generalized finite-volume direct averaging micromechanics (FVDAM) theory. Comparison of predictions by the generalized theory with its predecessor, analytical and finite element...
