A second-order multiscale theory based on the concept of a Representative Volume
Element (RVE) is proposed to link a classical poromechanical model at the RVE scale to a …

Nanoporous materials find a wide range of applications spanning diverse disciplines. For
sufficiently small nanopores, surface effects must be accounted for in calculating …

A fundamental understanding of the interaction between microstructure and underlying
physical mechanisms is essential, especially for developing more accurate multi-physics …

The objective of this contribution is to establish a first‐order computational homogenization
framework for micro‐to‐macro transitions of porous media that accounts for the size effects …

Many geological materials, such as shale, mudstone, carbonate rock, limestone and rock
salt are multi-porosity porous media in which pores of different scales may co-exist in the …

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 …

Using an efficient, elasticity-based homogenization theory, we investigated the effect of
porosity redistribution at different microstructural scales on the homogenized moduli and …

Surface elasticity effects based on the Gurtin-Murdoch model are incorporated for the first
time into a finite-volume based homogenization theory to enable analysis of materials with …
