Since early publications in the late 1980s and early 1990s, the finite volume method has
been shown suitable for solid mechanics analyses. At present, there are several flavours of …

A finite volume based approach is employed in the solution of unit cell problems at different
orders of the asymptotic field expansion to construct a homogenization theory for anti-plane …

In this contribution, the ratcheting behavior and local field distribution of unidirectional metal
matrix composites are investigated under cyclic loading. To that end, we extended the finite …

The previously developed finite volume based asymptotic homogenization theory designed
for unidirectional composites with finite-sized microstructures is further extended to non …

Generalized FVDAM theory for the analysis of periodic heterogeneous materials with elastic–
plastic phases undergoing infinitesimal deformation is constructed to overcome the …

In the last decades, new generations of advanced materials have been designed and
manufactured for specific applications. The micromechanics plays an important role in the …

In recent years, the micromechanics model plays an important role in investigating the
mechanical properties for particle-reinforced composite (PRC) materials. In this article …

In this paper, a multiscale approach has been developed for investigating the rate-
dependent viscoplastic behavior of polymer matrix composites (PMCs) with thermal residual …

In this communication, we present a reformulated finite-volume direct averaging
micromechanics (FVDAM) framework for periodic multiphase materials with elastic-plastic …

The transverse damage initiation and extension of a unidirectional laminated composite
under transverse tensile/compressive loading are evaluated by means of Representative …
