Materials show a multitude of heterogeneities due to microstructure, defects or grain boundaries in a generalized sense. In micromechanics one investigates the influences of these heterogeneities or defects at microscale on the overall mechanical properties and performance of a material at macroscale. This micro-to-macro transition formally proceeds by appropriate averaging processes and is called homogenization. This lecture starts with a brief introduction to continuum mechanics and then focus on the fundamental analytical and computational homogenization techniques.
