  • Chapter

Part of the book series: CISM International Centre for Mechanical Sciences ((CISM,volume 541))

Abstract

The elastoviscoplasticity theory of micromorphic media at finite deformation is presented in this chapter. Micromechanical considerations are then put forward to motivate the existence of the microdeformation degrees of freedom in the case of composite materials. Mixtures of micromorphic media are finally considered with a view to homogenising the size–dependent properties of metal polycrystals.
