A homogenization analysis of the field theoretic approach to the quasi-continuum method
Dear Colleagues,
I wish to bring to your attention my recent work with Liping Liu on "A homogenization analysis of the field theoretic approach to the quasi-continuum method" to appear in the Journal of the Mechanics and Physics of Solids. Below is the abstract and attached is the preprint of the article. I will very much appreciate your comments and suggestions.
A Homogenization Analysis of the Field Theoretic Approach to the Quasi-Continuum Method
Why penetrable model can be assumed in random?
There is a lot of homogenization theories based on penetrable model or some other name like 'overlapping', 'randomly imbedded model' to analyze random microstructure. In reality, the fibers or inclusions can not be penetrated into each other, so why they use this assumption anyway?
Thanks for your opinion.

This is a general micromechanic question.
Suppose we have a microstructured 2-phases material with random inclusions (or a porous material with random pores) and we make a real tensile test (monoaxial loading in the vertical direction of a specimen with nominal length L). We want to model such tensile test with FEM (for instance with Abaqus) like in this pic:

Hello Everybody,
I have some problem, i use 3D unit cell model for the calculation of stress-strain curve of the soft plastic matrix with rigid inclusion. after calculation i take the reaction force, devived it into cross -section of ma specimen=this is my stress, and strain i obtain by deviding the displacement into he initial length of the specimen. nevwrtheless i think it is necessary to use some homogenization scheme to obtain the stress-strain response of the material. Could you please help me what should i do?
Best regards
ABAgirl

New paper on a Gurson like fracture model for plastically anisotropic materials
Hello All. This is my first blog entry in iMechanica!. This post is about my new paper with Prof. Amine Benzerga entitled "A constitutive model for plastically anisotropic solids with non-spherical voids", accepted for publication in JMPS (URL: http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.jmps.2010.03.007 ). In case you are not able to view the online version, a preprint of the paper is attached. This paper should be of interest to anyone working in the ductile fracture area. Your comments and feedback are welcome.
