The objective of this contribution is to present a unifying review on strain-driven
computational homogenization at finite strains, thereby elaborating on computational …

Interphase regions that form in heterogeneous materials through various underlying
mechanisms such as poor mechanical or chemical adherence, roughness, and coating, play …

Mindlin's second strain gradient continuum theory for isotropic linear elastic materials is
used to model two different kinds of size-dependent surface effects observed in the …

This work presents a geometrically nonlinear homogenization framework for composites
with magneto-mechanical behavior whereby the composite can be subject to large …

The objective of this contribution is to establish a micro-to-macro transition framework to
study the behavior of heterogeneous materials whereby the influence of interfaces at the …

Nanoporous materials find a wide range of applications spanning diverse disciplines. For
sufficiently small nanopores, surface effects must be accounted for in calculating …

The objective of this contribution is to explain the size effect in composites due to the
interfacial energy between the constituents of the underlying microstructure. The …

Abstract 3D printing technology has opened application perspectives which were difficult to
imagine only few years ago. In this paper, we show how it is possible to design and print …

Solid surface tension can deform soft elastic materials at macroscopic length scales. At a
critical surface tension, elastocapillary instabilities in soft filaments emerge that resemble the …

This paper critically examines the predictive capabilities of three computational approaches
for the elastic-plastic response of nanoporous materials with energetic surfaces simulated …
