Multiscale Analysis of Materials with Anisotropic Microstructure as Micropolar Continua

Abstract

Multiscale procedures are often adopted for the continuum modeling of materials

Preface: Multiscale and Multiphysics Modeling of "Complex" Materials and Engineering Applications

“…In the paper by Fantuzzi et al (2020) [14], advantages of micropolar theory in modeling anisotropic composite materials with local rigid microstructure are discussed. This study focuses on composites made of hexagonal rigid particles which interact among themselves through elastic interfaces so that the deformation energy of the material is concentrated only at the interfaces.…”
