Synopsis:

The aim is to explain basic properties of anisotropic and heterogeneous materials, philosophy of their solution and ways of homogenization. Micro-, meso-, macro-, view of composite materials. Hill's theory of composites. Variation formulation, Hashin-Shtrikman's variation principle, consequences for the methods of homogenization of composites. Tension, Eshelby tractions, Mori-Tanaka method, self-consistent, penalty method. Applications, cylindrical shells, deskframe structures, selected building structures (tunnels, underground constructions, etc.).
