Prediction of the Thermo-Mechanical Properties of the SiCf/SiC RVE Model via FEM and Asymptotic Homogenization Method: Process and Implementation Details

Thermo-mechanical analysis of wood through an asymptotic homogenisation approach

“…the elasticity, conductivity and thermal expansion tensors of the material. This is one of the reason why this technique has been widely applied in the literature in the context of multi-scale and multi-physics problems, for instance in relation to thermo-viscoelastic composites [50], two-phase functionally graded materials [49], thermo-diffusive composites [51], hygro-elastic materials [15,[52][53][54], thermo-elastic ceramic matrix composites [55]. Despite all the aforementioned works, in only one reference i.e., Livani et al [15], asymptotic homogenisation has been applied to predict the macroscopic (hygro-elastic) effective properties of wood.…”
