Abstract
The problem of relating mechanical response of materials to their microstructure is common to many areas. It is relevant in mechanics of polycrystalline, granular (and other type) media, in problems of effective moduli and problems of crack propagation and damage formation/evolution. We thus have seven papers in this session. In the following, rather than providing here a review of each of these papers, we give a discussion of salient features and techniques common to various disciplines that these papers represent. This is accompanied by an account of state of the art and future challenges in micromechanics. It is hoped that the reader will see potential applications in study of other types of materials, e.g. cellular, fibrous, biological.
