TL;DR: In this article, the authors deal with the development of a multiple scale finite element method by combining the asymptotic homogenization theory with Voronoi cell (VCFEM) for microstructural modeling.

TL;DR: In this paper, a multiple scale finite element model (VCFEM-HOMO) was developed for elastic-plastic analysis of heterogeneous (porous and composite) materials by combining asymptotic homogenization theory with the Voronoi Cell finite element models.

TL;DR: In this article, a Voronoi cell finite element method is developed to solve small deformation elastic-plasticity problems for arbitrary heterogenous materials, which is based on Dirichlet Tessellation of microstructural representative materials.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors dealt with the evolution of damage in microstructures of reinforced ductile-matrix composites by particle cracking and splitting and developed a small deformation Voronoi cell finite element model, in which each element may consist of a matrix phase, an inclusion phase and a crack phase.

TL;DR: In this paper, a hierarchical multiple scale computational model is proposed to concurrently predict evolution of variables at the structural and micro-structural scales, as well as to track the incidence and propagation of microstructural damage.
