Homogenization theory for heterogeneous materials

  • Chapter

  • 536 Accesses

Abstract

In this chapter we discuss the characteristics of heterogeneous media, basic concepts, and methods of homogenization of microstructures of the materials. Because there is much literature on this topic, for example references [1, 2], the chapter presents a brief review of the current state and new developments of homogenization theory.
