Dear All,
Could somebody indicate me some literature about the topic "2D
approximation of heterogeneous 3D media"?
In particular I am interested to address following issues:
1) Under which conditions averaging thermal conductivity and young
modulus (or more general, mechanical behaviour) on multiple 2D crossections of an heterogeneous "random"
material can be a good approximation for the behaviour of the real 3D
microstructure
Hello everybody,
I am solving a FE problem on a hetereogeneous medium consisting of rigid phase (Young modulus of about 100 000 N/mm2), a softer phase (Young modulus of 20 000 N/mm2) and pore (Young modulus of 1 N/mm2). The reason that I have to mesh the pore is that there are some elements of rigid phase hanging out in the pores. So, if I do not mesh the pore, then my FE matrix is singular.
Dear all,
I am wondering if there exists a mesher that can generate finite element mesh (2D or 3D) from imaging data? It would be much nicer if there are somes and free.
Thanks a lot in advance for your help.
Vinh Phu
