Some Perspectives on New Multiscale Solid Mechanics
from Part IV - Applications II
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 14 December 2023
In this chapter, roughly three perspectives are presented and discussed based on the author’s own views, which are at least conceptually informative and expected to greatly help enrich the understanding of “corporation” aspects of multiscale plasticity, either directly or indirectly. The topics chosen are “small world network,” “global analysis,” and “bio-inspired mechanics.” The first subject is related to an issue how the microscopic and macroscopic degrees of freedoms are organically interrelated in hierarchically constituted complex material systems. The last topic is about much more complex systems than the materials, that is, bio-systems, from which we expect to gain numerous insights for tackling our problems in more advanced fashion. Roughly two implications are picked up here, that is, “irreducible structure of life” and “tight coupling versus loose coupling” controversy in terms of the mechanism of bio-motors. The latter is evidently associated with the previously mentioned “weak ties.”
