Computational homogenization of non-stationary transport processes in masonry structures
A fully coupled transient heat and moisture transport in a masonry structure is examined in this paper. Supported by several successful applications in civil engineering the nonlinear diffusion model proposed by Künzel [1] is adopted in the present study. A strong material heterogeneity together with a significant dependence of the model parameters on initial conditions as well as the gradients...
متن کاملHomogenization of Interlocking Masonry Walls
In a previous publication the authors proposed a continuous model for describing the mechanical behaviour of ‘Running Bond’ masonry walls. Here a different masonry structure is considered. This structure is ‘bi-atomic’ in the sense that its pattern consists in two kind of blocks with different. The homogenization by differential expansions technique is used for obtaining an equivalent Cosserat ...
متن کاملEffective Elastic Stiffness for Periodic Masonry Structures via Eigenstrain Homogenization
The equivalent periodic eigenstrain method is used to evaluate the effective elastic stiffness of periodic masonry structure. An Eshelby tensor, for a unit cell of the periodic masonry structure, is derived analytically, and is combined with a strain energy approach to formulate the effective stiffness of the masonry. The new homogenization scheme is simple, one step, and closed form. The model...
متن کاملON MAXWELL'S STRESS FUNCTIONS FOR SOLVING THREE DIMENSIONAL ELASTICITY PROBLEMS IN THE THEORY OF ELASTICITY
The governing equations of three dimensional elasticity problems include the six Beltrami-Michell stress compatibility equations, the three differential equations of equilibrium, and the six material constitutive relations; and these are usually solved subject to the boundary conditions. The system of fifteen differential equations is usually difficult to solve, and simplified methods are usual...
متن کاملThree Dimensional Nonlinear Dynamics of Slender Structures: Cosserat Rod Element Approach
In this paper, the modelling strategy of a Cosserat rod element (CRE) is addressed systematically for 3-dimensional dynamical analysis of slender structures. We employ the nonlinear kinematic relationships in the sense of Cosserat theory, and adopt the Bernoulli hypothesis. The Kirchoff constitutive relations are adopted to provide an adequate description of elastic properties in terms of a few...
