The foundations of classical homogenization techniques, which aim at predicting the overall
behavior of heterogeneous materials from that of their constituents, are reviewed. After …

This paper gives an intuitive numerical multi-scale method to estimate damping in
anisotropic viscoelastic hybrid composite structures using finite element analysis. Different …

A new method for determining the overall behavior of composite materials comprised of
linear viscoelastic constituents is presented. Unlike classical methods which are based on …

This paper presents a procedure for the estimation of the effective thermo-viscoelastic
behavior in fiber-reinforced polymer filaments used in high temperature fiber-reinforced …

One of the main specific aspects of continuum micromechanics is related to the fact that one
has generally to deal with ill-defined bodies: only partial information on the statistical …

The determination of the effective behavior of heterogeneous materials from the properties
of the components and the microstructure constitutes a major task in the design of new …

The Laplace–Carson transform classically used for homogenization of linear viscoelastic
heterogeneous media yields integral formulations of effective behaviours. These are far less …

Homogenization of linear viscoelastic materials is possible using the viscoelastic
correspondence principle (VCP) and homogenization solutions obtained for linear elastic …

We analytically derive the relaxation spectra of a two-phase isotropic material whose phases
are isotropic Maxwell media, according to the classical and to the generalized self …

This study presents a micromechanical modeling by the Nonuniform Transformation Field
Analysis (NTFA) of the viscoelastic properties of heterogeneous materials with aging and …
