The theory of composite materials is the study of partial differential equations with rapid oscillations in their coefficients. Although extensively studied for more than a hundred years, an explosion of ideas in the past four decades has dramatically increased our understanding of the relationship among the properties of the constituent materials, the underlying microstructure of a composite, and the overall effective moduli that govern the macroscopic behavior. This renaissance has been fueled by the technological need for improving our knowledge base of composites, by the advance of the underlying mathematical theory of homogenization, by the discovery of new variational principles, by the recognition of how important the subject is to solving structural optimization problems, and by the realization of the connection with the mathematical problem of quasiconvexification. This book surveys these exciting developments at the frontier of mathematics and presents many new results.

Composites have been studied for more than 150 years, and interest in their properties has been growing. This classic volume provides the foundations for understanding a broad range of composite properties, including electrical, magnetic, electromagnetic, elastic and viscoelastic, piezoelectric, thermal, fluid flow through porous materials, thermoelectric, pyroelectric, magnetoelectric, and conduction in the presence of a magnetic field (Hall effect). Exact solutions of the PDEs in model geometries provide one avenue of understanding composites; other avenues include microstructure-independent exact relations satisfied by effective moduli, for which the general theory is reviewed; approximation formulae for effective moduli; and series expansions for the fields and effective moduli that are the basis of numerical methods for computing these fields and moduli. The range of properties that composites can exhibit can be explored either through the model geometries or through microstructure-independent bounds on the properties. These bounds are obtained through variational principles, analytic methods, and Hilbert space approaches. Most interesting is when the properties of the composite are unlike those of the constituent materials, and there has been an explosion of interest in such composites, now known as metamaterials. The Theory of Composites surveys these aspects, among others, and complements the new body of literature that has emerged since the book was written. It remains relevant today by providing historical background, a compendium of numerous results, and through elucidating many of the tools still used today in the analysis of composite properties. This book is intended for applied mathematicians, physicists, and electrical and mechanical engineers. It will also be of interest to graduate students.

In Chapter 1 we review many of the linear equations of physics, and write them in a canonical form appropriate to the theory of composites. We show how conservation laws, which have played a key role throughout the history of science, can be generalized to equalities which we call "boundary field equalities and inequalities". Chapter 2 reviews the abstract theory of composites, both for the effective tensor and for the associated "Y -tensor". Chapter 3 shows that the problem of finding the Dirichlet-to-Neumann map which governs the response of inhomogeneous bodies, for acoustics, elastodynamics, or electromagnetism can be reformulated as the problem of finding the effective tensor (operator) associated with an abstract problem in the theory of composites. Thus, many tools for bounding effective tensors extend to bounding the Dirichlet-to-Neumann map. Chapter 4, with Maxence Cassier and Aaron Welters, studies in depth the analyticity properties of the Dirichlet-to-Neumann map for electromagnetism, as functions of the variables representing the permittivities and permeabilities of the phases multiplied by the frequency. It is established that the map is an operator-valued Herglotz function of these complex variables. It is anticipated that this will be useful for establishing fundamental limits on performances of devices. Chapter 5 explores bounds on the Dirichlet-to-Neumann map and the associated inverse problem of what can be said about the distribution of materials inside a body from surface measurements, using the connection between Dirichlet-to-Neumann maps and effective tensors in composites. Chapter 6, with Ornella Mattei, derives bounds on the transient response of viscoelastic composites. Significantly, we found that the volume fractions of the phases could almost be exactly determined from measurements of the transient response at certain times. Chapter 7 develops the algebra of finite-dimensional subspace collections. By relaxing the requirement that the subspaces are orthogonal we find that there is a rich algebraic structure associated with subspace collections: operations of addition, subtraction, multiplication, division and substitution can all be defined. Some of these operations are analogous to operations one can do with resistor networks. In Chapter 8 we show this algebra has important uses: in particular by substituting a collection with non- orthogonal subspaces in one with orthogonal subspaces we can accelerate Fast Fourier transform methods for computing the effective tensor and fields in periodic conducting composites, as demonstrated by the numerical results of Moulinec and Suquet. Chapter 9, with Moti Milgrom, looks at the response of multiphase bodies and composites to different fields, which may be electric fields, magnetic fields, temperature gradients, or concentration gradients, which interact in the components due to coupling terms. Chapter 10, with Maxence Cassier and Aaron Welters, develops a rigorous basis for the field equation recursion method for composites of two isotropic phases. This uses a stratification of the Hilbert space, and an inductive procedure, to link together a sequence of associated effective tensors. Chapter 11 shows that by minimising the integral of the square of the Schrodinger equation one can develop a "density functional theory" for excited states in multielectron systems, called "Projection functional theory". Chapter 12 shows one can desymmetrize the Schrödinger equation and develop iterative FFT methods for solving it which at each step only require Fourier transforms in the coordinates of just two electrons. Chapter 13 develops minimization variational principles for Schrodinger's equation for excited states when the energy is complex, and explores certain quadratic functions which have properties that could be useful in analysis. Chapter 14 shows how one can obtain Green's functions for problems with non-self-adjoint operators.

This book first provides a systematic and thorough introduction to the classical laminate theory for composite materials based on the theory for plane elasticity elements and classical (shear-rigid) plate elements. The focus is on unidirectional lamina which can be described based on orthotropic constitutive equations and their composition to layered laminates. In addition to the elastic behavior, failure is investigated based on the maximum stress, maximum strain, Tsai-Hill, and the Tsai-Wu criteria. The solution of the fundamental equations of the classical laminate theory is connected with extensive matrix operations, and many problems require in addition iteration loops. Thus, a classical hand calculation of related problems is extremely time consuming. In order to facilitate the application of the classical laminate theory, we decided to provide a Python-based computational tool, the so-called Composite Laminate Analysis Tool (CLAT) to easily solve some standard questions from the context of fiber-reinforced composites. The tool runs in any standard web browser and offers a user-friendly interface with many post-processing options. The functionality comprises stress and strain analysis of lamina and laminates, derivation of off-axis elastic properties of lamina, and the failure analysis based on different criteria.

A typical approach to treat composite materials, which are composed of layered unidirectional lamina, is the so-called classical laminate theory (CLT). This theory is based on the theory for plane elasticity elements and classical (shear-rigid) plate elements under the assumption of orthotropic constitutive equations. The solution of the fundamental equations of the classical laminate theory is connected with extensive matrix operations and many problems require in addition iteration loops. This two-dimensional approach and the underlying advanced continuum mechanical modeling might be very challenging for some students, particularly at universities of applied sciences. Thus, a reduced approach, the so-called simplified classical laminate theory (SCLT), has been recently proposed. The idea was to use solely isotropic one-dimensional elements, i.e., a superposition of bar and beam elements, to introduce the major calculation steps of the classical laminate theory. Understanding this simplified theory is much easier and the final step it to highlight the differences when moving to the general two-dimensional case. This monograph first provides a systematic and thorough introduction to the simplified laminate theory based on the theory for bars and classical beam plate elements. The focus is on stacking of isotropic layers to simplified laminates. In addition to the elastic behavior, failure is investigated based on the maximum stress, maximum strain, Tsai-Hill, and the Tsai-Wu criteria. We provide a Python-based computational tool, the so-called Composite Laminate Analysis Tool (CLAT 1D) to easily solve some standard questions from the context of fiber reinforced composites. The tool runs in any standard web browser and offers a user-friendly interface with many post-processing options. The functionality comprises stress and strain analysis of simplified lamina and laminates and the failure analysis based on different criteria.

Designing structures using composite materials poses unique challenges due especially to the need for concurrent design of both material and structure. Students are faced with two options: textbooks that teach the theory of advanced mechanics of composites, but lack computational examples of advanced analysis; and books on finite element analysis that may or may not demonstrate very limited applications to composites. But now there is third option that makes the other two obsolete: Ever J. Barbero's Finite Element Analysis of Composite Materials. By layering detailed theoretical and conceptual discussions with fully developed examples, this text supplies the missing link between theory and implementation. In-depth discussions cover all of the major aspects of advanced analysis, including three-dimensional effects, viscoelasticity, edge effects, elastic instability, damage, and delamination. More than 50 complete examples using mainly ANSYSTM, but also including some use of MATLAB®, demonstrate how to use the concepts to formulate and execute finite element analyses and how to interpret the results in engineering terms. Additionally, the source code for each example is available for download online. Cementing applied computational and analytical experience to a firm foundation of basic concepts and theory, Finite Element Analysis of Composite Materials offers a modern, practical, and versatile classroom tool for today's engineering classroom.
