Mechanical characterization of composite materials with rectangular microstructure and voids

Abstract The purpose of this work is to study the mechanical behavior microstructured materials, in particular porous media. We consider a detailed description material through discrete model, considered as benchmark problem. Two continuous models, one micropolar and classic, obtained homogenization procedure material, are studied both static dynamic conditions. Furthermore, internal characteristics such scale microstructure percentage voids, made vary order investigate response have an exhaustive comparison among models.
