Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mechanics and Physics of Structured Media: Asymptotic and Integral Methods of Leonid Filshtinsky provides unique information on the macroscopic properties of various composite materials and the mathematical techniques key to understanding their physical behaviors. The book is centered around the arguably monumental work of Leonid Filshtinsky. His last works provide insight on fracture in electromagnetic-elastic systems alongside approaches for solving problems in mechanics of solid materials. Asymptotic methods, the method of complex potentials, wave mechanics, viscosity of suspensions, conductivity, vibration and buckling of functionally graded plates, and critical phenomena in various random systems are all covered at length. Other sections cover boundary value problems in fracture mechanics, two-phase model methods for heterogeneous nanomaterials, and the propagation of acoustic, electromagnetic, and elastic waves in a one-dimensional periodic two-component material. Covers key issues around the mechanics of structured media, including modeling techniques, fracture mechanics in various composite materials, the fundamentals of integral equations, wave mechanics, and more Discusses boundary value problems of materials, techniques for predicting elasticity of composites, and heterogeneous nanomaterials and their statistical description Includes insights on asymptotic methods, wave mechanics, the mechanics of piezo-materials, and more Applies homogenization concepts to various physical systems
