SYNTHESIZED MICROMECHANICAL FIELDS BASED ON THE SYNERGY OF WANG TILES AND FEM

pages 657 - 660, full text

In this contribution, we present the concept of replacing periodic unit cell (PUC) with a set of specifically designed cells and their utilization for modeling of materials with heterogeneous microstructures and for reconstruction of micromechanical fields. The approach is based on the Wang tiles method that compresses the stochastic microstructure into a small set of statistical volume elements – tiles. Tiles are placed side by side according to matching edge codes like in a game domino. Using the stochastic tiling algorithms the microstructure of arbitrarily large domain is recreated and opposite to the repeating pattern of PUC it preserves its randomness. To obtain the mechanical response of whole domain, the micromechanical quantities are evaluated only on tiles and then synthesized back. But because of the nonlocal character of mechanical quantities the resulting field contains jumps between adjacent tiles. To prevent this phenomenon, the surrounding layers of tiles of each addressed tile are included into the evaluation. In our latest work, we are focused on how the characteristic microstructural lengths influence the convenient size of individual tiles and how the number of included layers of tiles affects the resulting error between the synthesized and reference micromechanical field.
