Dr. Wenbin Yu, distinguished engineer, industry leader, and author, brings together micromechanics and structural mechanics using the Mechanics of Structure Genome. This approach allows multiscale constitutive modelling for general anisotropic and heterogeneous materials and structures without invoking assumptions commonly used in other approaches.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe book introduces readers unfamiliar with vectors and tensors, continuum mechanics, micromechanics, and structural mechanics to the basics of each of these topics. It goes on to bridge the gap between micromechanics and structural mechanics, offering readers multiscale structural models that remain as simple as classical engineering models but with the accuracy expected of more complex theories capturing microstructural details. Specifically, the book offers: \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e A brief introduction to vectors and tensors, as well as continuum mechanics, classical structural models including kinematics, kinetics, and energetics, and composite materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Fulsome discussions of the mechanics of structure genome (MSG) and its application to construct multiscale models for beams, plates, shells, and 3D solids\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Complete explorations of both micromechanics and structural mechanics, including the theories of beams, plates, and shells\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e An introduction to the calculus of variations, variational asymptotic method, and their applications to model general anisotropic and heterogeneous materials and structures\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Information sufficient to allow readers to construct efficient high-fidelity models for composites using MSG introduced in this book\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Detailed discussions of stress and failure analysis of composite laminates \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003ePerfect for graduate students in aerospace, mechanical, and other disciplines making use of anisotropic and heterogeneous materials such as composites, \u003ci\u003eMultiscale Structural Mechanics\u003c\/i\u003e will also earn a place in the libraries of researchers and engineers in university, government, and industry laboratories who work with composite materials and structures.
