This paper revisits the topic of mean field homogenization for short fiber reinforced
composite materials. A short glass fiber reinforced thermoplastic polyamide 6.6 with a fiber …

In many industrial sectors, structural health monitoring (SHM) is considered as an addition to
nondestructive testing (NDT) that can reduce maintenance effort during the lifetime of a …

This work is devoted to investigating the computational power of Quasi‐Newton methods in
the context of fast Fourier transform (FFT)‐based computational micromechanics. We revisit …

Calculating the effective elastic properties of semi-crystalline polymers is challenging due to
a pronounced phase stiffness contrast, complex micro-structures and extreme anisotropies …

A novel approach for reducing the simulation time of highly complex fan-out chip on
substrate (FOCoS) structures was developed. Based on the Uflyand-Mindlin plate theory …

We investigate deep material networks (DMN). We lay the mathematical foundation of DMNs
and present a novel DMN formulation, which is characterized by a reduced number of …

We combine a laminate-based approach and an interface orientation average. For linear
elasticity, we obtain analytical expressions for the effective stiffness of mixtures of two …

The mechanical behavior of many applied materials arises from their microstructure. Thus, to
aid the design, development and industrialization of new materials, robust computational …

Martensite forms under rapid cooling of austenitic grains accompanied by a change of the
crystal lattice. Large deformations are induced which lead to plastic dislocations. In this work …

The effective elastic behavior of laminates is well understood. In this contribution, we make
use of the fact that the elastic homogenization can be extended relatively easy to the plastic …
