Hierarchical Modeling of Heterogeneous Solids
Abstract
The modeling of microscale effects required to describe physical phenomena such as the deformation of highly heterogeneous materials makes the use of standard simulation techniques prohibitively expensive. Most homogenization techniques that have been proposed to circumvent this problem lose small-scale information and as a result tend to produce acceptable results only for narrow classes of problems.
