Percentage porosity computation of three-dimensional non-convex porous geometries using the direct Monte Carlo simulation

A supervised learning-assisted multi-scale study for thermal and mechanical behavior of porous Silica

“…Once an RVE is generated and a Finite Element (FE)-based problem is solved, macroscopic properties of heterogeneous materials, typically mechanical and thermal properties, can be calculated by applying the principles of mean-field homogenization [ 29 , 30 ]. Since pores can be regarded as inhomogeneities, the creation of diverse RVEs with different pore shapes enables the study of the overall behavior of porous materials, including porous Silica, at varying porosities [ 31 , 32 ]. Similar studies utilizing micromechanical modeling have demonstrated the ability to make accurate predictions of material properties [ 33 ].…”
