Owing to additive manufacturing techniques, a structure at millimeter length scale (macroscale) can be produced by using a lattice substructure at micrometer length scale (microscale). Such a system is called a metamaterial at the…

Strain gradient theory is an accurate model for capturing the size effect and localization phenomena. However, the challenge in identification of corresponding constitutive parameters limits the practical application of the theory. We…

Metamaterials exhibit materials response deviation from conventional elasticity. This phenomenon is captured by the generalized elasticity as a result of extending the theory at the expense of introducing additional parameters. These…

In this paper an asymptotic homogenization method for the analysis of composite materials with periodic microstructure in presence of thermodiffusion is described. Appropriate down-scaling relations correlating the microscopic fields to the…

In this work, we develop a new systematic and self-consistent approach to homogenize arbitrary non-magnetic periodic metamaterials. The proposed method does not rely on the solution of an eigenvalue problem and can fully characterize the…

Functionally graded materials (FGMs) are two-phase composites with continuously changing microstructure adapted to performance requirements. Traditionally, the overall behavior of FGMs has been determined using local averaging techniques or…

One considers linearly thermoelastic composite media, which consist of a homogeneous matrix containing a statistically homogeneous random set of ellipsoidal uncoated or coated inclusions. Effective properties (such as compliance and thermal…

Accurate predictions of thermo-mechanically coupled process in metals can lead to a reduction of cost and an increase of productivity in manufacturing processes such as forming. For modeling these coupled processes with the finite element…

We consider a linearly thermoelastic composite medium,which consists of a homogeneous matrix containing a statistically inhomogeneous random set of inclusions, when the concentration of the inclusions is a function of the coordinates…

Peridynamics provides a versatile tool for fracture modelling in materials where fracture pathways cannot be predicted beforehand, but must be envisaged as an emergent features of the deformation process. One class of materials where this…

This paper presents a homogenization framework for elastomeric metamaterials exhibiting long-range correlated fluctuation fields. Based on full-scale numerical simulations on a class of such materials, an ansatz is proposed that allows to…

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,…

In this work we briefly present a thermomechanical model that could serve as starting point for industrial applications. We address the non-linearity due to temperature dependence of material properties and heterogeneity due to presence of…

The layer-upon-layer approach in additive manufacturing, open or closed cells in polymeric or metallic foams involve an intrinsic microstructure tailored to the underlying applications. Homogenization of such architectured materials creates…

Thermoelectric metamaterials featuring width modulation through constrictions (constricted geometries) have emerged as a promising approach for improving heat management and thermoelectric performance. Through a combination of theoretical…

A multiscale asymptotic homogenization method for periodic microstructured materials in presence of thermoelasticity with periodic spatially dependent one relaxation time is introduced. The asymptotic expansions of the micro-displacement…

We present a formulation for high-order generalized periodicity conditions in the context of a high-order electromechanical theory including flexoelectricity, strain gradient elasticity and gradient dielectricity, with the goal of studying…

It is important to accurately model materials' properties at lower length scales (micro-level) while translating the effects to the components and/or system level (macro-level) can significantly reduce the amount of experimentation required…

This study proposes a multi-field asymptotic homogenization for the analysis of thermo-piezoelectric materials with periodic microstructures. The effect of the microstructural heterogeneity is taken into account by means of periodic…

Architected metamaterials like foams and lattices exhibit complex responses governed by microstructural instabilities, localization, and phase-transition-like phenomena. Their behavior is further affected by heterogeneities inherent in…
