The concept of multiscale modelling has emerged over the last few decades to describe
procedures that seek to simulate continuum-scale behaviour using information gleaned from …

Since the beginning of the industrial age, material performance and design have been in the
midst of innovation of many disruptive technologies. Today's electronics, space, medical …

A new data-driven computational framework is developed to assist in the design and
modeling of new material systems and structures. The proposed framework integrates three …

The discovery of efficient and accurate descriptions for the macroscopic behavior of
materials with complex microstructure is an outstanding challenge in mechanics of …

Abstract Mechanical Metamaterials (MMs) are artificially designed structures with
extraordinary properties that are dependent on micro architectures and spatial tessellations …

In this study, we propose a versatile two-scale approach for thermo-viscoelastic analysis of
the curing of composite laminates. Cure-induced residual stresses and part distortion …

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

Service lifetimes of polymers and polymer composites are impacted by environmental
ageing. The validation of new composites and their environmental durability involves costly …

Research on topology optimization mainly deals with the design of monoscale structures,
which are usually made of homogeneous materials. Recent advances of multiscale …

This book presents a broad exposition of analytical and numerical methods for modeling
composite materials, laminates, polycrystals and other heterogeneous solids, with emphasis …
