This work presents a study on the computational homogenization of electro-magneto-mechanically coupled problems through Virtual Element Method (VEM). VE-approaches have great potential for physical properties heterogeneous polycrystalline microstructures with anisotropic grains. The flexibility in element shapes can be exploited creating VE-mesh significant lower number degrees freedom if compa...

The polarization and strain response of ferroelectric materials at fields below the macroscopic coercive field is a paramount importance for operation many electronic devices. real related in general complex difficult to interpret. reason this that processes material contribute its properties, often concurrently. Examples include motion ferroelastic domains, presence domains within dynamics dif...

We introduce the coupling of three-dimensional transient electro-thermal interconnect simulations with intrinsic thermo-mechanical stress solutions. In order to study the development of local thermal stresses we use a finite element simulator for the investigation of complex layered interconnect structures at different operating conditions. The obtained local stress, temperature distribution, t...
