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 …

In the past decades, considerable progress had been made in bridging the mechanics of
materials to other disciplines, eg downscaling to the field of materials science or upscaling to …

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 …

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

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

The multi-principal element alloys (MPEAs) exhibit the unprecedented combinations of the
excellent mechanical properties, especially high strength and good ductility. However, the …

This paper presents a two-scale thermo-mechanical analysis framework for heterogeneous
solids based on a computational homogenization technique. The evolution of the …

Masonry is a composite material characterized by a large variability of its constituent
materials. The materials used, the quality of the bond and variations in the standard of …

This paper contributes to the formulation of continuum damage models for orthotropic
materials under plane stress conditions. Two stress transformation tensors, related to tensile …
