Preface
There exists considerable work involving isotropic and homogeneous solids. Most metallic and polymeric composite materials are heterogeneous in nature. The heterogeneity is the result of the presence of multiphases and interfaces both adhesively and cohesively in these composites. Their effective elastic properties are governed by the joint properties of the different phases, where volume fractions, directionality, inhomogeneity and anisotropy, and varied length and time scales govern these properties. Two major categories exist: composites with microscopic functional reinforcements/alloying elements and composites with nanoscopic reinforcements. The treatments of those two categories of composites are the focus of this work. This edited book covers micromechanics and nanomechanics as applied to composite solids. Micromechanics employs traditional continuum mechanics techniques to describe the behavior of features in the order of microns. Nanomechanics, on the other hand, considers the atomic/molecular str
