Wang tiles-based description of a microstructural geometry of random heterogeneous materials facilitates fast reconstruction of material samples. As a step towards a stat [...]

Effective thickness approaches are useful tools for a response prediction and the design of sandwich structures. In this contribution, we study their applicability to fre [...]

The principal challenge in implementation of random fields arises from the need for determination of their correlation/characteristic lengths in the simplest case or more [...]

The lamination of glass sheets with ductile interlayers significantly changes the post-fracture response of glass structures and increases their safety. The aspects impor [...]

Motivated by casting of fresh concrete in reinforced concrete structures, we introduce a numerical model of a steady-state non-Newtonian fluid flow through a porous domai [...]

The present contribution reports on preliminary results of enhancing the approximation space of the Finite Element Method by means of pre-generated displacement fluctuati [...]

The paper deals with homogenization and strength estimation of mortars containing crushed bricks or other clay products. These mortars, known as cocciopesto, were used ma [...]

Macroscopically heterogeneous materials, characterized mostly by comparable heterogeneity lengthscale and structural sizes, can no longer be modelled by deterministic app [...]

A simple procedure is presented for the determination of a Periodic Unit Cell (PUC) for plain weave fabric composites with reinforcement imperfections. The objective is t [...]

The purpose of this paper is to establish variational principles for the mechanical behavior of two-phase random elastic lattices. By restricting the attention to the sys [...]
