Abstract: Traditional averaging and homogenization techniques, developed to predict the macroscopic properties of heterogeneous media, typically ignore microstructure related scale effects—that is, the influence ...

Abstract: Using the nonlinearly elastic planar lattice model presented in Part I, the influence of scale (i.e., the size of the representative volume, relative to the size of the unit cell) on the ...

Abstract: For ductile solids with periodic microstructures (e.g., honeycombs, fiber-reinforced composites, cellular solids) which are loaded primarily in compression, their ultimate failure is related to the ...
