The details of the \nmicrostructure of most natural and engineered materials are usually \nobscure; uncertainty and randomness are the inherent features. This \ncomplexity due to material heterogeneity has not been adequately \ndescribed by current classical models and theories.  Stochastic \nModeling of Microstructures presents a concise and unified \npresentation of the basic principles and tools for the modeling of \nreal materials, natural and man-made, that possess complex, random \nheterogeneity. The book uses the language and methods of random field \ntheory combined with the basic constructs of stochastic geometry and \ngeometrical\/spatial statistics in order to give the reader the \nknowledge necessary to model various types of material \nmicrostructures. The application of the theoretical constructs \nreviewed in the first three chapters to the analysis of empirical data \nvia the tools of statistical inference is also discussed. The final \nchapters address practical aspects of specific modeling problems. \nFeatures- ú First comprehensive introduction to the comparatively new \nfield of stochastic modeling of material microstructures ú \nPresentation of basic tools required from the diverse subjects of \nrandom field theory, stochastic geometry and spatial statistics ú \nProvides background concepts from probability theory and stochastic \nprocesses are provided ú Applications from various fields are \ndiscussed, including stochastic wave propagation and the mechanics of\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Birkhäuser\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2001-09-21\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9780817642334\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-1-4612-0121-2\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 270\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Birkhäuser Boston","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45382388940940,"sku":"9780817642334","price":49.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9780817642334.jpg?v=1771519557","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9780817642334","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
