The concept of multiscale modelling has emerged over the last few decades to describe
procedures that seek to simulate continuum-scale behaviour using information gleaned from …

Metal forming is not only shaping the form of a product, it is also influencing its mechanical
and physical properties over its entire volume. Advanced analysis methods recently enable …

Direct representation of material microstructure in a macroscale simulation is prohibitively
expensive, if even possible, with current methods. However, the information contained in …

Reduced-order homogenization (ROH) and related methods are important computational
tools for simulating the material behavior of composites. These methods generally sacrifice …

Modeling the behavior of composite materials is an important application of computational
homogenization methods. Classical computational homogenization (CCH), based on …

We present a rigorous and consistent thermodynamic-based approach to derive generalized
nonassociative rate-independent and rate-dependent plasticity theories. It is demonstrated …

Cyclic softening is a plastic mechanism that affects the strength of various structural
materials while in operation, including that of many advanced alloys and modern …

This work proposes an efficient framework for prediction of filled elastomer damping
properties based on imaged microstructures. The efficiency of this method stems from a …

We argue that mechanics and physics of solids rely on a fundamental exemplar: the
apparent properties of a system depend on the building blocks that comprise it. Building …

This paper outlines a single crystal plasticity theory for the mesoscale resolution of the
diffusionless transformation process of deformation twinning. Unlike prevalent crystal …
