This contribution addresses polymorphic uncertainty quantification within structural analysis of reinforced concrete structures composed heterogeneous and reinforcement (e.g. steel bars or carbon fibres). The macroscopic material behaviour is strongly dependent on the mesoscopic heterogeneities, which are considered by multiscale modelling. characterized representative volume elements (RVE) tra...

This work attempts to develop a theoretical model in combination with the representative volume element (RVE) theory for realizing rapid fatigue limit prediction. Within thermodynamic framework, it is believed that two components, namely anelastic and microplastic behaviors, which correspond recoverable non-recoverable microstructural motions, contribute temperature variation during high-cycle ...

Abstract This work investigates the possibility of applying two-scale computational homogenization to rod lattice structures emerging, for instance, from additive manufacturing. The influence number unit cells within representative volume element (RVE), thus, RVE’s size on homogenized mechanical response is studied occurring microscopic structural instabilities. Therein, macro-scale, described ...

An elastomer is a polymer with the property of viscoelasticity, generally having notably low Young's modulus and high yield strain compared with other materials.  Elastomers, in particular rubbers, are used in a wide variety of products ranging from rubber hoses, isolation bearings, and shock absorbers to tires. Rubber has good properties and is thermal and electrical resistant. We used carbon ...
