Modeling the Evolution of Multiple Scale Nonuniform Finite Deformations in Actual Heterogeneous Materials

本研究的主要目标是开发一套计算模型系统，用于实际非均质材料的响应分析。在这些材料中，任意形状和大小的微观颗粒或纤维（在增强复合材料中）或沉淀和孔隙（在合金系统中）随机分散在基体中。预期的研究是建立在大学和工业之间积极合作的基础上的。本研究将融合voronoi单元、均质化方法并对其进行扩展，以创新一种新颖而复杂的计算模块系统，准确地描述实际多相材料的复杂变形机制和材料演化。

The prime objective of the research is to develop a system of computational models for response analysis of actual heterogeneous materials. In these materials, microscopic particulates or fibers (in reinforced composites) or precipitates and pores, (in alloy systems) of arbitrary shapes and sizes, are randomly dispersed in the matrix. The intended research is based upon a vigorous collaboration between university and industry. The research will blend voronoi cell elements, homogenization method and extend them, to innovate a novel and sophisticated system of computational modules, that will accurately depict the complex deformation mechanisms and material evolution in actual multi phase materials.
