摘要: The problem of relating mechanical response materials to their microstructure is common many areas. It relevant in mechanics polycrystalline, granular (and other type) media, problems effective moduli and crack propagation damage formation/evolution. We thus have seven papers this session. In the following, rather than providing here a review each these papers, we give discussion salient features techniques various disciplines that represent. This accompanied by an account state art future challenges micromechanics. hoped reader will see potential applications study types materials, e.g. cellular, fibrous, biological.
