Abstract
Three-dimensional homogenization of inelastic periodic
composites to obtain their effective mechanical or
transport properties can be a numerically intensive process
requiring substantial computing resources. Stress
and strain-controlled finite element methods of solving
the unit cell problem with periodicity enforced are presented.
To reduce the expense of homogenization, several
techniques for achieving high efficiency with computing
resources are discussed and assessed. Examples with inelastic
masonry and a graphite fiber composite are presented.
