A multi-scale computational strategy for structured thin sheets

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingConference contributionAcademicpeer-review

Abstract

Engineering trends show an increasing use of multi-layered and structured thin sheets in innovativeapplications where the layer thickness approaches the microstructural scale. This paper presents a strategyto homogenize the actual three-dimensional heterogeneous sheet towards a shell continuum. Consistent scaletransition relations are derived, providing the ability to solve the (generalized) stress-strain fields on both themicrostructural and the engineering scale are obtained in a direct and coupled manner.
