Numerical modeling of diffusion within composite media
نویسنده
چکیده
Within biological systems, which contain complex and composite media, diffusion may depend not only on internal geometry, but also on the chemical interactions between solid phase and transported particles. New hierarchical multiscale microstructural model for diffusion within complex media is presented. Hierarchical modeling approach is then employed to construct a continuum diffusion model based on a novel numerical homogenization procedure, using which we evaluate constitutive material parameters.

متن کاملModeling of Hygrothermal Damage of Composite Materials
Composite materials have been used extensively in various applications, such as mechanical engineering, aerospace engineering, and aviation thanks to their interesting mechanical properties. However, a substantial drawback in the use of such composite materials is that they absorb a significant amount of moisture when exposed to severe hygrothermal conditions. This factor dramatically affects t...
