Various multiscale methods are reviewed in the context of modelling mechanical and
thermomechanical responses of composites. They are developed both at the material level …

This is the first part of a two-part paper dedicated to a new plate theory for out-of-plane
loaded thick plates where the static unknowns are those of the Kirchhoff–Love theory (3 in …

Composite materials generally exhibit a highly anisotropic thermal behavior (due to the
orientation of fibers), leading to strong difficulties to determine the thermal conductivity …

The dynamic behavior of discrete periodic one-dimensional structures is approached by
considering transverse vibrations of structures made of repeated unbraced frames …

This paper applies the asymptotic homogenization method to predict effective properties of
periodic heterogeneous beam structures. A improved FEM formulation and algorithm of the …

The purpose of this paper is to investigate the static behavior of helical structures under axial
loads. Taking into account their translational invariance, the homogenization theory is …

In the hydroelastic analysis of large floating structures, the structural and hydrodynamic
analyses are coupled, and the structural stiffness plays an important role in the accurate …

This contribution proposes a multiscale scheme for structural elements considering beam
kinematics. The scheme is based on a first-order homogenization approach fulfilling the Hill …

This two-part-paper proposes a higher order composite beam theory that can be viewed as
an extension of Saint-Venant's theory. Saint-Venant's solution, is known to represent the …

The structural complexity of submarine power cables (SPCs) presents significant challenges
in their local mechanical analysis. This paper introduces an advanced modeling method …
