Modeling of heterogeneous materials and media is a problem of fundamental importance to
a wide class of phenomena and systems, ranging from condensed matter physics, soft …

Sustainable and resilient pavement infrastructure is critical for current economic and
environmental challenges. In the past 10 years, the pavement infrastructure strongly …

A hierarchical multiscale modeling approach is used to investigate three-dimensional (3D)
strain localization in granular media. Central to the multiscale approach is a hierarchical …

Granular materials are the most recurrent form of solid-state matter on Earth. They challenge
researchers and engineers in various fields not only because they occur with a broad variety …

The aim of this study is to propose a strategy for performing nonlinear two-scale analysis for
composite materials with periodic microstructures (unit cells), based on the assumption that …

Double‐scale numerical methods constitute an effective tool for simultaneously representing
the complex nature of geomaterials and treating real‐scale engineering problems such as a …

This paper extends the hierarchical multiscale approach developed earlier by the authors to
model the coupled hydro-mechanical behaviour for saturated granular soils. Based on a …

Soil and rock mixture (SRM) is ubiquitous in nature and also an excellent engineering fill
material. Accurate evaluation of mechanical characteristics of SRM is of vital importance in …

This work presents a data-driven continuum–discrete multiscale methodology to simulate
heat transfer through granular materials. The two scales are hierarchically coupled, where …

The paper presents a new method for quasi‐static homogenization of granular
microstructures and its embedding into two‐scale simulations. On the coarse scale, a …
