Application of the multiscale FEM to the modeling of nonlinear multiphase materials

This contribution is concerned with the modeling of composite materials and, particularly, with the application of the multiscale finite element method for that purpose. The method is a result of combining homogenization theory with the finite element method and is based on the idea of splitting the simulation of a heterogeneous body into two tasks: the first one is the modeling of the actual body and the second one the modeling of the...
