Asymptotic homogenization of hygro-thermo-mechanical properties of fibrous networks
E. Bosco, R. H. J. Peerlings, M. G. D. Geers
The hygro-thermo-expansive response of fibrous networks involves deformation phenomena at multiple length scales. The moisture or temperature induced expansion of individual fibres…
Hygro-mechanical properties of paper fibrous networks through asymptotic homogenization and comparison with idealized models
E. Bosco, R. H. J. Peerlings, M. G. D. Geers
This paper presents a multi-scale approach to predict the effective hygro-mechanical behaviour of paper sheets based on the properties of the underlying fibrous network. Despite th…
Fracture initiation in multi-phase materials: a systematic three-dimensional approach using a FFT-based solver
T. W. J. de Geus, M. Cottura, B. Appolaire +2
This paper studies a two-phase material with a microstructure composed of a hard brittle reinforcement phase embedded in a soft ductile matrix. It addresses the full three-dimensio…
Systematic and objective identification of the microstructure around damage directly from images
T. W. J. de Geus, C. Du, J. P. M. Hoefnagels +2
An original experimental approach is presented to automatically determine the average phase distribution around damage sites in multi-phase materials. An objective measure is found…
Microstructural modeling of ductile fracture initiation in multi-phase materials
T. W. J. de Geus, R. H. J. Peerlings, M. G. D. Geers
The precise mechanisms underlying the failure of multi-phase materials may be strongly dependent on the material's microstructural morphology. Micromechanical modeling has provided…
Topology and morphology influences on the onset of ductile failure in a two-phase microstructure
T. W. J. de Geus, R. H. J. Peerlings, M. G. D. Geers
Multi-phase material are frequently applied in a wide variety of products, as they posses a unique set of properties by combining two or more distinct phases at the level of the mi…
