    This is the first book that systemically introduces the theory and implementation of Computational Grains for micromechanical modeling of heterogeneous materials. This book covers the specifically designed mathematics embedded in Computational Grains, and the entire process of microstructure construction, tessellation, CG simulation and homogenization. The Computational Grains discussed in this book consider elastic, non-elastic, and multi-physics solids. Materials damage development are also preliminarily discussed, with CGs considering matrix-inclusion debonding as well as embedded microcracks. Presenting the theory step-by-step and with detailed examples and MATLAB codes, the material is accessible and practical for readers. This will be ideal for graduate students and researchers in mechanical and aerospace engineering and applied mechanics.

    • Computational Grains for the micromechanical modeling of different kinds of heterogeneous materials are systematically introduced for the first time- Readers can learn this method conveniently and systematically in one resource
    • Introduces the theory step-by-step using detailed explanations and examples throughout- Making the theory accessible to readers who are unfamiliar with this method
    • MATLAB codes for various Computational Grains provided in this book- Readers can implement the codes in their own computer programs, for the better understanding and application of this method
