Overall behaviour of heterogeneous elastoviscoplastic materials: effect of microstructural modelling

A combined experimental–numerical approach for generating statistically equivalent fibre distributions for high strength laminated composite materials

“…Finite element models were generated in ABAQUS [15] and used to impose periodic boundary conditions as described in [16,17] to an RVE which enable the relevant modes of deformation of the composite to be simulated. A two-dimensional generalised plane strain model was used to determine the longitudinal modulus E 11 from the models, using three-noded generalised plane strain elements (CPEG3).…”

A three-scale finite element investigation into the effects of tissue mineralisation and lamellar organisation in human cortical and trabecular bone

“…G 12 , G 23 and G 31 ) may be determined. Further information regarding the periodic homogenisation approach may be found in (Van der Sluis et al 2000;Segurado et al 2003;Vaughan 2011).…”

Crystal plasticity modeling of cyclic deformation for a polycrystalline nickel-based superalloy at high temperature

“…To realize repetitive deformation of the RVE, periodic boundary conditions are applied, which enforce parallel deformation of opposite edges [25,26], as sketched by dashed lines in x and y directions, and B and C were fixed in the x and y direction, respectively.…”
