The problem of effective properties of material microstructures has received considerable
attention over the past half a century. By effective (or overall, macroscopic, global) is meant …

Voronoi tessellation techniques are widely accepted methods for the generation of
representative models of polycrystalline microstructures of metallurgic and ceramic …

Foams exhibit a low-density characteristic and possess a notable level of structural rigidity.
Consequently, they are frequently observed in natural formations such as wood and bones …

A highly parallelised three-dimensional finite element crystal plasticity framework is used to
investigate the influence of grain sphericity, number of cross-sectional grains and grain size …

We provide a detailed expository report of a new methodology aiming at building a
numerical model of the complex pore distribution of porous UO 2 ceramics, tunable to real …

This paper presents an approach to evaluate the macroscopic properties of ceramic
materials based on the homogenisation of the results of micromechanical simulations …

The mechanisms of fracture in polycrystalline alumina were investigated at the grain level
using both the micromechanical tests and finite element (FE) model. First, the bending …

A three-dimensional cellular automata (CA) with rectilinear layout is used in this work to
create and cleave polycrystalline microstructures. Each crystal is defined by a unique …

Determining effective properties of heterogeneous materials is interesting not only in the
theoretical aspect but also in the practical one–engineering or technological. Therefore …

Poisson Voronoi (PV) tessellations as artificial microstructures are widely used in
investigations of material deformation behaviors. However, a PV structure usually describes …
