Microstructural Mechanical Modeling Using FEA

[Modey003]

I'm interesting in getting into computational Materials Science. I know a lot of FEA books assume a homogeneous material. I am familiar with FEA basics. Does anybody know of a book that focuses on microstructural mechanical modeling using FEA? I imagine a good start would be to use mesh elements of different materials. The Material Science books I read don't even cover this important topic in materials development.

Hi Modey,

I suspect that there are no books dedicated to micromechanical modeling of polymers

But there are numerous papers that illustrate how micromechanical FE modeling can be used to better understand material behavior. I have a number of references on my website: polymerFEM.com.

Best of luck,
Jorgen
