REDUCED ORDER HOMOGENIZATION MODELS FOR FAILURE OF HETEROGENEOUS MATERIALS

This dissertation presents a reduced order multiscale computational model for simulating failure and damage propagation in brittle composite materials. The model builds on the eigendeformation-based reduced order homogenization approach. The reduced order models (ROM) are obtained by (1) conducting...
