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

This paper reviews the recent developments in the field of multiscale modelling of
heterogeneous materials with emphasis on homogenization methods and strain localization …

We present an open-source software framework called PERMIX for multiscale modeling and
simulation of fracture in solids. The framework is an object oriented open-source effort …

The existence of a representative volume element (RVE) for a class of quasi-brittle materials
having a random heterogeneous microstructure in tensile, shear and mixed mode loading is …

The concept of the representative volume element (RVE) for softening materials is revised in
this contribution. It is demonstrated by means of numerical simulations that there exists a …

A novel computational framework is presented for the lifetime prediction of vertical-axis wind
turbines (VAWTs). The framework uses high-fidelity computational fluid dynamics (CFD) …

The stress–strain behaviors and progressive damage processes of 2.5 D woven fabric
composites under uniaxial tension are analyzed using a two-step, multi-scale progressive …

A cohesive-zone approach is used to study the interaction between an approaching crack
and a particle embedded in a matrix material as a function of the mismatch in elastic and …

SUMMARY A computational homogenization procedure for cohesive and adhesive crack
modeling of materials with a heterogeneous microstructure has been recently presented in …

The structural failure of round and egg-shaped sewer pipes is investigated by means of
laboratory experiments and finite element method analyses. Two different round pipes are …
