The newly developed "void expansion method" allows for an efficient generation of porous packings of spherical particles over a wide range of volume fractions using the discrete element method. Particles are randomly placed under addition…
The microstructure of coagulated colloidal particles, for which the inter-particle potential is described by the DLVO theory, is strongly influenced by the particles' surface potential. Depending on its value, the resulting microstructures…
The macroscopic mechanical properties of colloidal particle gels strongly depend on the local arrangement of the powder particles. Experiments have shown that more heterogeneous microstructures exhibit up to one order of magnitude higher…
In this paper we describe efficient methods of generation of representative volume elements (RVEs) suitable for producing the samples for analysis of effective properties of composite materials via and for stochastic homogenization. We are…
This paper presents two approaches: the virtual element method (VEM) and the stabilization-free virtual element method (SFVEM) for analyzing thermomechanical behavior in electronic packaging structures with geometric multi-scale features.…
This work presents a study on the computational homogenization of electro-magneto-mechanically coupled problems through the Virtual Element Method (VEM). VE-approaches have great potential for the homogenization of the physical properties…
The virtual element method (VEM) allows discretization of the problem domain with polygons in 2D. The polygons can have an arbitrary number of sides and can be concave or convex. These features, among others, are attractive for meshing…
Simulation of fracturing processes in porous rocks can be divided into two main branches: (i) modeling the rock as a continuum which is enhanced with special features to account for fractures, or (ii) modeling the rock by a discrete (or…
Numerous processes across both the physical and biological sciences are driven by diffusion. Partial differential equations (PDEs) are a popular tool for modelling such phenomena deterministically, but it is often necessary to use…
In this thesis, a computational framework for microstructural modelling of transverse behaviour of heterogeneous materials is presented. The context of this research is part of the broad and active field of Computational Micromechanics,…
We describe the numerical scheme for the discretization and solution of 2D elliptic equations with strongly varying piecewise constant coefficients arising in the stochastic homogenization of multiscale composite materials. An efficient…
The fracture simulation of random particle reinforced composite structures remains a challenge. Current techniques either assumed a homogeneous model, ignoring the microstructure characteristics of composite structures, or considered a…
Low-order virtual element methods (VEM) compute a consistent finite-strain contribution through polynomial projections and rely on stabilization to control the unresolved modes in the projector kernel. In current hyperelastic VEM practice,…
Producing dense and homogeneous powder layers with smooth free surface is challenging in additive manufacturing, as interparticle cohesion can strongly affect the powder packing structure and therefore influence the quality of the end…
Diffusion behaviors of heterogeneous materials are of paramount importance in many engineering problems. Numerical models that take into account the internal structure of such materials are robust but computationally very expensive. This…
Stochastic modeling has become a popular approach to quantify uncertainty in flows through heterogeneous porous media. The uncertainty in heterogeneous structure properties is often parameterized by a high-dimensional random variable. This…
As amorphous materials get jammed, both geometric and dynamic heterogeneity are observed. We investigate the correlation between the local geometric heterogeneity and local rearrangements in a slowly compressed bidisperse…
Cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) has revolutionized experimental protein structure determination. Despite advances in high resolution reconstruction, a majority of cryo-EM experiments provide either a single state of the studied…
Stochastic porous structures are ubiquitous in natural phenomena and have gained considerable traction across diverse domains owing to their exceptional physical properties. The recent surge in interest in microstructures can be attributed…
The concept of representative volume element or RVE is invoked to develop an algorithm for numerical homogenization of fluid filled porous solids. RVE based methods decouple analysis of a composite material into analyses at the local and…
