Reviews / Votes
From the reviews:
"This work represents the first part of an impressive two-volume book that describes various theoretical and computational approaches related to effective macroscopic properties of heterogeneous materials. . A main goal is to compare two fundamental directions used to study the heterogeneous materials properties, namely the continuum mechanics approach and the discrete model approach. . This multidisciplinary book is recommended to materials scientists, chemical and mechanical engineers, and applied physicists and mathematicians." (Olivian Simionescu, Zentralblatt MATH, Vol. 1028, 2004)
