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 …

In the present report some basic issues of and some of the modeling strategies used for
studying static and quasistatic problems in continuum micromechanics of materials are …

Materials that are either manufactured or occur in nature and used both in industry and in
our daily lives (metals, rocks, wood, soil, suspensions, and biological tissue) are very …

Concrete is an heterogeneous structural material whose constitutive behaviour is strictly
depending on the mechanical properties of the aggregates and the cement paste. A large …

Concrete is a heterogeneous structural material whose constitutive behaviour is strictly
depending on the mechanical properties of the aggregates and the mortar. Its behaviour is …

This paper presents a fully coupled multiscale thermo-hydro-mechanical model that
describes partially saturated air-entrained concrete under freezing-thaw conditions …

Although both computational and analytical homogenization are well-established today, a
thorough and systematic study to compare them is missing in the literature. This manuscript …

The main objective of this paper is to develop a novel multiscale approach for simulating
static and stationary dynamic crack problems in two-dimensional elastic solids through an …

We present a numerical homogenization approach for hybrid metal foams, ie foams that are
electrocoated to improve their mechanical properties. Based on the finite cell method, a …
