Since the beginning of the industrial age, material performance and design have been in the
midst of innovation of many disruptive technologies. Today's electronics, space, medical …

Composite materials and structures are inherently inhomogeneous and anisotropic across
multiple scales. Multiscale modelling offers opportunities to understand the coupling of …

FE 2 multiscale simulations of history-dependent materials are accelerated by means of a
recurrent neural network (RNN) surrogate for the history-dependent micro level response …

We present an open-source software framework called PERMIX for multiscale modeling and
simulation of fracture in solids. The framework is an object oriented open-source effort …

This article focuses on computational multiscale methods for the mechanical response of
nonlinear heterogeneous materials. After a short historical note, a brief overview is given of …

Service lifetimes of polymers and polymer composites are impacted by environmental
ageing. The validation of new composites and their environmental durability involves costly …

Crack nucleation and propagation in concrete is significantly affected by mesoscopic
heterogeneities, resulting in distinct failure modes and mechanical behavior. In this work, the …

This paper revisits the problem of computational modelling of a fluid-driven fracture
propagating in a permeable porous medium using zero-thickness flow cohesive interface …

This paper reviews the recent developments in the field of multiscale modelling of
heterogeneous materials with emphasis on homogenization methods and strain localization …

A unified variational theory is proposed for a general class of multiscale models based on
the concept of Representative Volume Element. The entire theory lies on three fundamental …
