Heterogeneous Materials: Nonlinear and Breakdown Properties and Atomistic Modeling

This book describes and discusses the properties of heterogeneous materials, both linear and nonlinear properties, providing comprehensive and up to date theoretical and computer simulation analysis of materials properties. Volume I covers linear properties, while Volume II considers non-linear and fracture and breakdown properties, as well as atomistic modeling. This multidisciplinary book will appeal to applied physicists, materials scientists, chemical and mechanical engineers, chemists, and applied mathematicians.
