Multiscale Modeling of Composite Materials: a Roadmap Towards Virtual Testing

A bottom‐up, multiscale modeling approach is presented to carry out high‐fidelity virtual mechanical tests of composite materials and structures. The strategy begins with the in situ measurement of the matrix and interface mechanical properties at the nanometer‐micrometer range to build up a ladder of the numerical simulations, which take into account the relevant deformation and failure mechanisms at different length scales relevant to...
