Computational mechanics of multiphase materials-modeling strategies at different scales
Journal Title: Computer Assisted Methods in Engineering and Science - Year 2011, Vol 18, Issue 1
Abstract
The paper addresses various scale-bridging modeling and discretization strategies for multiphase porous materials, starting with a micromechanics model for ion transport within the pore space to generate homogenized diffusion coefficients. Using homogenized macroscopic properties, the theory of poromechanics provides the modeling framework for the macroscopic representation of transport and phase change processes as it is demonstrated for freezing of porous materials using a three-field formulation. The theory of poromechanics is again employed as an appropriate representation of more or less intact porous materials, in conjunction with a two-field Extended Finite Element model as a scale bridging tool to describe coupled hydro-mechanical processes in cracked porous materials at a macroscopic level.

Regularization using truncated singular value decomposition for estimating the Fourier spectrum of a noised space distribution over an extended support
This paper is devoted to a theoretical and numerical study of different ways of calculating the Fourier transform of a noisy signal where the boundary conditions at the lateral boundaries of the measurement interval are...
Recent developments in numerical homogenization. (Received in the final form February 11, 2010)
This paper deals with homogenization of non linear fibre-reinforced composites in the coupled thermomechanical field. For this kind of structures, i.e. inclusions randomly dispersed in a matrix, the self consistent metho...
Inverse problem in anomalous diffusion with uncertainty propagation
Recently, Bevilacqua, Galeão and co-workers have developed a new analytical formulation for the simulation of diffusion with retention phenomena. This new formulation aims at the reduction of all diffusion processes with...
