Given the ( linear and / or nonlinear ) material properties of the constituents, one important goal of micromechanics of materials consists of predicting the response of the heterogeneous material on the basis of the geometries and properties of the individual phases, a task known as homogenization.

Dr . Mura was appointed Walter P . Murphy Professor in the McCormick School of Engineering at Northwestern, was elected as a member of the National Academy of Engineering ( NAE ) in 1986 for his contributions to the field of micromechanics, and received many other accolades for his work.

As long as a cementitious material is designed / developed based on micromechanics and fracture mechanics theory to feature large tensile ductility, it can be called an ECC . Therefore, ECC is not a fixed material design, but a broad range of topics under different stages of research, development, and implementations.
