Virtual Elements for Computational Homogenization of Polycrystalline Materials
摘要
Heterogeneous materials (such as composites, bones, wood, concrete and metallic-polycrystalline materials) consist of complicated constituents across scales with complex material response. These materials, even with similar properties at macroscopic level, can behave differently at micro-scale. The response of such materials is often related to non-uniform and anisotropic behaviour at microscopic level.
