The key aspect of the project is the development of new perspectives towards the formulation of micro-to-macro transitions and micro-structure developments in solid materials on multiple scales. The micro-structures may a priori be defined as representative volume elements of heterogeneous materials or may in homogeneous materials be generated at a certain stage of the deformation process as a result of a material instability phenomenon. A fundamentally new viewpoint to the homogenization analysis of inelastic materials is provided by recently developed incremental variational formulations of homogenization where fine-scale fluctuation fields are defined as energy minimizers of suitably defined homogenization functionals. Methodical basis is the application of mathematical concepts for the treatment of non-convex energy minimization problems and their convexifications. Specification of these concpts to engineering problems needs the development of a variational-based generic theory of stability for inelastic solids and the construction of new computational tools for an effective handling of hierarchical multi-scale homogenization procedures in nonlinear solid mechanics. We focus on constitutive models of finite elastoplasticity and damage mechanics with regard to applications to metals and geomaterials. The overall result of the project will be a better understanding of the mathematical basis, the physical mechanisms and the numerical of material instability phenomena in solids.

该项目的关键方面是发展新的观点，以制定微观到宏观的过渡和微观结构的发展，在固体材料的多个尺度。微结构可以先验地被定义为非均质材料的代表性体积元素，或者可以在均质材料中由于材料不稳定现象而在变形过程的某个阶段产生。非弹性材料的均匀化分析提供了一个从根本上新的观点，最近开发的增量变分公式的均匀化细尺度波动场被定义为适当定义的均匀化泛函的能量最小。方法基础是应用数学概念处理非凸能量最小化问题及其凸化。这些concpts工程问题的规范需要发展一个基于变分的通用理论的非弹性固体的稳定性和建设新的计算工具，在非线性固体力学的层次多尺度均匀化程序的有效处理。我们专注于有限弹塑性本构模型和损伤力学方面的应用，金属和岩土材料。该项目的总体结果将是更好地理解固体中材料不稳定现象的数学基础，物理机制和数值。
