Abstract

We describe various spatial and temporal multiscale approaches for composite materials and structures. Spatial multiscale approaches are grouped into two categories: information-passing and concurrent. In the concurrent multiscale methods in space multiple scales are simultaneously resolved, whereas in the information-passing schemes, the fine scale is modeled and its gross response is infused into the continuum scale. The issue of appropriate scale selection is discussed. Among the temporal multiscale application we describe block cycle and temporal homogenization approaches with application to fatigue life prediction of composites.
