Random Heterogeneous Materials: Microstructure and Macroscopic Properties

The interdisciplinary subject of random heterogeneous materials has experienced remarkable growth since the publication of the well-known monograph Statistical Con­ tinuum Theories by Beran ( 1968). Many of these advances, especially those concerning the statistical characterization of the microstructure and its effect on the physical properties of the material, have not been treated fully in any book. One of the intents of the present book is to fill this gap. This book also distinguishes ...
