A variational asymptotic micromechanics model for predicting thermoelastic properties of heterogeneous materials
A variational asymptotic micromechanics model has been developed for predicting effective thermoelastic properties of composite materials, and recover the local fields within the unit cell. This theory adopts essential assumptions within the concept of micromechanics, achieves an excellent accuracy, and provides a unified treatment for 1D, 2D, and 3D unit cells. This theory is implemented using...
متن کاملA micromechanics-enhanced finite element formulation for modelling heterogeneous materials
In the analysis of composite materials with heterogeneous microstructures, full resolution of the heterogeneities using classical numerical approaches can be computationally prohibitive. This paper presents a micromechanics-enhanced finite element formulation that accurately captures the mechanical behaviour of heterogeneous materials in a computationally efficient manner. The strategy exploits...
متن کاملAsymptotic modeling of thin piezoelectric plates
We study the asymptotic behavior of a three dimensional flat, heterogeneous and anisotropic piezoelectric body when its thickness seen as a parameter goes to zero. Depending on the type of the electrical loading two models are obtained which are related to the plate used as a sensor or as an actuator. These models are explicitly derived in any piezoelectric crystal symmetry class. For some of t...
متن کاملAnalysis and optimization of heterogeneous materials using the variational asymptotic method for unit cell homogenization
The variational asymptotic method for unit cell homogenization is used to find the sensitivity of the effective properties of periodically heterogeneous materials, within a periodic base-cell. The sensitivities are found by the direct differentiation of the variational asymptotic method for unit cell homogenization (VAMUCH) and by the method of adjoint variables. This sensitivity theory is impl...
