Beskrivning

This book presents the language of random field theory and the principles of stochastic geometry in order to give the systematic and concise knowledge necessary for modeling real random heterogeneous media. This book is ideal for a general scientific audience needing an in-depth guide to current ideas, methods and models for the stochastic modeling of microstructures. It is an essential reference for practitioners, researchers and professionals in material modeling, mechanical engineering, materials science, chemical, civil, environmental engineering and applied mathematics.
