Description
This short
course will summarize the sequential and embedded multiscale-multiphysics
computational techniques in solid mechanics. In the embedded approach
both the fine and coarse scales are simultaneously resolved, whereas
in the sequential multiscale methods, fine scales are modeled and
their gross response is infused into the coarse scale. Among the sequential
techniques, both the mathematical homogenization and the variational
multiscale methods will be described. Mathematical homogenization
theory in space will be applied to elasticity, plasticity, damage
and fatigue. A unified continuum-to-continuum and continuum-to-discrete
(atomistic) scale bridging methodology based on the generalization
of the space-time mathematical homogenization will be presented. Temporal
homogenization theory will be derived and applied to problems of viscoelasticity,
viscoplasticity and fatigue. Among the embedded multiscale computational
techniques to be described are: the multigrid (multilevel), the composite
grid and the mesh superposition approaches. For multiphysics applications
multiscale staggering methods will be discussed.
