Micromechanics aims mainly at establishing the quantitative relation between the macroscopic mechanical behavior and the microstructure of heterogeneous materials. It provides an efficient tool for understanding the deformations and strength of materials, and for the design of new materials as well. The basic idea of micromechanics dates back to some pioneer works of continuum mechanics, in which a matter with discrete molecular microstructure is idealized as a homogenized one endowed with appropriate “effective” material properties. Significant progress has been made in this domain due to the need of quantitative prediction of the mechanical and physical properties of composite materials since the late 60’s of the last century, and it is also revitalized since the 90’s by the urgent need of characterizing size effects observed for micro- and nano-structured materials. More recently, micromechanics is refueled by the dynamic homogenization of heterogeneous materials, which is especially important for design of metamaterials. Micromechanics is also recognized as an efficient method in understanding the interplay between processes at different scales, providing deep insights for multi-physics phenomena.
