This paper presents a review of the principal developments in functionally graded materials
(FGMs) with an emphasis on the recent work published since 2000. Diverse areas relevant …

Various multiscale methods are reviewed in the context of modelling mechanical and
thermomechanical responses of composites. They are developed both at the material level …

Outside of the classical microstructural detail-free estimates of effective moduli,
micromechanical analyses of macroscopically uniform heterogeneous media may be …

Since early publications in the late 1980s and early 1990s, the finite volume method has
been shown suitable for solid mechanics analyses. At present, there are several flavours of …

This work investigates dynamic failure processes in homogeneous and functionally graded
materials (FGMs). The failure criterion is incorporated in the cohesive zone model (CZM) …

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 …

This paper deals with the mean-field homogenization of multiphase elasto-plastic materials
reinforced with non-spherical and non-aligned inclusions. Most of the literature on the micro …

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

It is well known that the strongly location-dependent microstructures observed in metal parts
made using additive manufacturing (AM) processes differ from those found in components …

Some mean-field approximation methods are considered, with the objective to transfer any
arbitrary local plasticity constitutive description to an overall analytical continuum …
