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 presents a new method suitable for modelling multiple discontinuities within a
finite element. The architecture of the proposed method is similar to that of the phantom …

Fiber bridging has a significant influence on the delamination propagation behavior in
multidirectional composite laminates. Traditional pure mode I bilinear cohesive zone models …

We present a volumetric iso‐geometric finite element analysis based on Catmull‐Clark
solids. This concept allows one to use the same representation for the modeling, the …

In the present work, extended finite element method (XFEM) in conjunction with multiscale
finite element method (MsFEM) is employed to model heterogeneous materials ie matrix …

This paper presents a multi-scale modelling approach for bridging the microscale damage
and macroscale failure. The proposed scheme evolves from a classical computational …

An extended/generalized finite element method (XFEM/GFEM) for simulating quasistatic
crack growth based on a phase‐field method is presented. The method relies on …

SUMMARY A hybrid multiscale framework is presented, which processes the material scales
in a concurrent manner, borrowing features from hierarchical multiscale methods. The …

There are several methods for modeling delamination in composite structures, among which
the cohesive zone model (CZM) is one of the best. Various CZMs are implemented through …

Micro-to-macro connection techniques constitute a key ingredient in the formulation of
multiscale strategies. In this contribution several connection methods are explored for the …
