Abstract:A reduced-order asymptotic homogenization-based multiscale technique that can capture damage and inelastic effects in composite materials is proposed. This technique is based on a two-scale homogenization procedure where eigenstrain representation accounts for the inelastic response and the computational efforts are alleviated by a reduction-of-order technique. Macroscale stress is derived by calculating the influence tensors from analysis of a representative volume element. At microscale, the damage in the ma… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
