This is a clearly written introduction to micromechanics for graduate students of mechanical engineering and material science. The textbook contains the rigorous theoretical basis for mechanics of materials as well as a large number of examples, numerical simulations of practical importance, and exercises in phase transition, fracture mechanics, dislocations, homogenization, and plasticity.
