AnalySwift CTO Publishes Book Introducing New, Top Down Approach to Multiscale Structural Mechanics

West Lafayette, IN- Wenbin Yu, AnalySwift CTO and Milton Clauser Professor of Aeronautics and Astronautics at Purdue University, has published a new book, Multiscale Structural Mechanics: Top-Down Modeling of Composite Structures Using Mechanics of Structure Genome with Wiley (January 2026). The book presents a practical, unified approach to multiscale composites modeling—bridging micromechanics and structural mechanics with clarity and rigor.

This unified and rigorous approach to modeling composite structures, grounded in the concept of the Structure Genome. It integrates micromechanics and structural mechanics through the Mechanics of Structure Genome (MSG), enabling multiscale constitutive modeling for general anisotropic and heterogeneous materials—without relying on the limiting assumptions found in traditional methods.

The book introduces readers unfamiliar with vectors and tensors, continuum mechanics, micromechanics, and structural mechanics to the basics of each of these topics. It goes on to bridge the gap between micromechanics and structural mechanics, offering readers multiscale structural models that remain as simple as classical engineering models but with the accuracy expected of more complex theories capturing microstructural details.

Designed for both newcomers and experienced practitioners, the book covers:

• A concise intro to vectors, tensors, continuum mechanics, and classical structural models
•  In-depth discussion on MSG and its application to beams, plates, shells, and 3D solids
•  A full bridge between micromechanics and structural mechanics
•  Use of calculus of variations and variational asymptotic methods for composite modeling
•  Guidance to construct efficient, high-fidelity composite models
• Insights on stress and failure analysis of composite laminates

Whether you’re a graduate student in aerospace or mechanical engineering, or a researcher/engineer working with composite materials, this book is a powerful resource for modeling complex structures with engineering-level simplicity and precision.

Get your hands on it and explore how multiscale thinking is reshaping composite structures. It can be ordered on Amazon, Wiley, and Amazon Canada.
