Discussion on effectivness of analytical and numerical examination of unsteady mixed boundary elasticity problems
Dear collegues,
New theory of elasticity & deformation
Starting with a few questions which I asked in my introductory class 30 years ago at UC Davis, and which were never answered, I found enough reasons over the years to reject the current theory of elasticity, stress and continuum mechanics entirely.

Book Review
Micromechanics---loosely speaking, is the study of heterogeneities in materials and its consequences for material or continuum behavior. This encompasses studies of inclusions, dislocations, cracks or more generally defects. A related problem is that of "coarse-graining" or in other words the effective homogenized properties of a heterogeneous material. The latter is a recurring theme in all of physical sciences not just solid mechanics. Micromechanics, a formidable subject by all means, dominated a substantial part of the history of solid mechanics. Several of our Timoshenko awardees have been associated with this subject, e.g. Eshelby, Hill, Keller, Irwin, Rice among others.

I am trying to learn non linear FEA ( Newton Raphson method)and this is what my understanding is. Kindly advise if you think my understanding is correct.
