TL;DR: In this paper, a viscoplastic extension of the Gurson model has been developed for capturing the complex hierarchy of damage mechanisms, coupled with visc-oplastic and stress state effects.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: In this article, a variational asymptotic method for unit cell homogenization (VAMUCH) is developed to predict the effective properties of periodically heterogeneous materials and recover the local fields.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors proposed a continuation and development of Dvorak's transformation field analysis, considering piecewise uniform eigenstrains in each material phase, and two modifications are proposed that improve considerably the overall stress-strain response, at least for materials sustaining a linear hardening under large strains.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors provide a useful and effective demonstration of the systematic and fundamental research of the microstructure of the wide class of heterogeneous materials of natural and synthetic nature.
Abstract: The micromechanics of random structure heterogeneous materials is a burgeoning multidisciplinary research area which overlaps the scientific branches of materials science, mechanical engineering, applied mathematics, technical physics, geophysics, and biology. Micromechanics of Heterogeneous Materials features rigorous theoretical methods of applied mathematics and statistical physics in materials science of microheterogeneous media. The prediction of the behavior of heterogeneous materials by the use of properties of constituents and their microstructures is a central issue of micromechanics. This book is the first in micromechanics to provide a useful and effective demonstration of the systematic and fundamental research of the microstructure of the wide class of heterogeneous materials of natural and synthetic nature. Micromechanics of Heterogeneous Materials is suitable as a reference for researchers involved in applied mathematics, physics, geophysics, materials science, and electrical, chemical, civil and mechanical engineering working in micromechanics of heterogeneous media. Micromechanics of Heterogeneous Materials is also appropriate as a textbook for advanced graduate courses.
