In this paper we present a fully-coupled, two-scale homogenization method for dynamic loading in the spirit of FE$^2$ methods. The framework considers the balance of linear momentum including inertia at the microscale to capture possible…
The paper deals with the interaction between buckling and resonance instabilities of mechanical systems. Taking into account the effect of geometric nonlinearity in the equations of motion through the geometric stiffness matrix, the problem…
Much work has been done in topology optimization of multiscale structures for maximum stiffness or minimum compliance design. Such approaches date back to the original homogenization-based work by Bends{\o}e and Kikuchi from 1988, which…
The behavior of suspensions of rigid particles in a non-Newtonian fluid is studied in the framework of a nonlinear homogenization method. Estimates for the overall properties of the composite material are obtained. In the case of a…
Magneto-active elastomers exhibit large, nonlinear deformations under combined mechanical loading and magnetic fields, and their effective behavior is strongly governed by microstructural heterogeneity. Predictive modeling of these…
We propose to homogenize a periodic (along one direction) structure, first in order to verify the quasi-static prediction of its response to an acoustic wave arising from mixing theory, then to address the question of what becomes of this…
It is known that a finite-size homogeneous granular fluid develops an hydrodynamic-like instability when dissipation crosses a threshold value. This instability is analyzed in terms of modified hydrodynamic equations: first, a source term…
This work focuses on computing the homogenized elastic properties of rocks from 3D micro-computed-tomography (micro-CT) scanned images. The accurate computation of homogenized properties of rocks, archetypal random media, requires both…
A micromorphic computational homogenization framework has recently been developed to deal with materials showing long-range correlated interactions, i.e. displaying patterning modes. Typical examples of such materials are elastomeric…
A robust finite volume method for viscoelastic flow analysis on general unstructured meshes is developed. It is built upon a general-purpose stabilization framework for high Weissenberg number flows. The numerical framework provides full…
The mechanical behavior of inelastic materials with microstructure is very complex and hard to grasp with heuristic, empirical constitutive models. For this purpose, multiscale, homogenization approaches are often used for performing…
A multiscale (micro-to-macro) analysis is proposed for the prediction of the finite strain behavior of composites with hyperelastic constituents and embedded localized damage. The composites are assumed to possess periodic microstructure…
This article presents a multifield asymptotic homogenization scheme for the analysis of Bloch wave propagation in non-standard thermoelastic periodic materials, leveraging on the Green-Linsdsay theory that accounts for two relaxation times.…
The susceptibility of timestepping algorithms to numerical instabilities is an important consideration when simulating partial differential equations (PDEs). Here we identify and analyze a pernicious numerical instability arising in…
This paper presents an efficient algorithm for the approximation of the rank-one convex hull in the context of nonlinear solid mechanics. It is based on hierarchical rank-one sequences and simultaneously provides first and second derivative…
Computational formulations for large strain, polyconvex, nearly incompressible elasticity have been extensively studied, but research on enhancing solution schemes that offer better tradeoffs between accuracy, robustness, and computational…
This paper presents a combined numerical-theoretical study of the macroscopic behavior and local field distributions in a special class of two-dimensional periodic composites with viscoplastic phases. The emphasis is on strongly nonlinear…
A new approach to defining the effective fracture toughness for heterogeneous materials is proposed. This temporal averaging approach is process-dependent, incorporating the crack velocity and material toughness. The effectiveness of the…
In this paper, we study modulation instabilities (MI) in a one-dimensional chain configuration of a flexible mechanical metamaterial (flexMM). Using the lumped element approach, flexMMs can be modeled by a coupled system of discrete…
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,…
