Summary
This chapter provides a very brief summary of the types of heterogeneous materials considered in this monograph: fiber-reinforced composites, particulate composites, nanocomposites, porous composites, and so on. A succinct summary is given of analytical homogenization methods to determine the overall properties of particulate composites based on the upper and lower bounds of Hashin and Shtrikman; the Eshelby ellipsoidal inclusion theory and the Self-consistent Method of Eshelby; and the Mori-Tanaka Method and some other semi-analytical methods. Numerical methods such as the finite element method, the boundary element method, XFEM, and so on to model a representative volume element (RVE) of a heterogeneous material are reviewed, and thus the motivation for the Computational Grains method discussed in the rest of this book is presented.
