Homogenized material properties for cross‐laminated timber

Improving Curd-Forming Properties of Homogenized Milk

Simultaneous shape, topology and homogenized properties optimization

In this brief note, we present an approach that combines the three classical techniques in structural optimization, i.e. the boundary variation, the topological and the homogenization methods. As a first test of this method, we apply it to the compliance optimization in R .

Homogenized Elastic Properties of Graphene for Small Deformations

In this paper, we provide the quantification of the linear and non-linear elastic mechanical properties of graphene based upon the judicious combination of molecular mechanics simulation results and homogenization methods. We clarify the influence on computed results by the main model features, such as specimen size, chirality of microstructure, the effect of chosen boundary conditions (imposed...

The Homogenized Energy Model (HEM) for Characterizing Polarization and Strains in Hysteretic Ferroelectric Materials: Material Properties and Uniaxial Model Development

Ferroelectric materials, such as PZT, PLZT and BaTiO3, are being considered, or are already being employed, for a large number of applications including nanopositioning, high speed valves for fuel injectors, ultrasonic transducers, high speed camera shutters and auto focusing mechanisms, energy harvesting, and pico air vehicle design. Their advantages include nanometer positioning resolution, b...

Computational Mechanics for Advanced Timber Engineering - from material modeling to structural applications

by Josef Füssl, Thomas K. Bader, Josef Eberhardsteiner Vienna University of Technology, Austria Wood products for structural elements are gaining importance in the building sector. Not least because of their evident ecological advantages, their share on the building market increases constantly, and volume consumption is facing enormous growth rates. Nevertheless, dimensioning practice and many ...
