Homogenization methods can be applied to many other problems of thistype, in which a heterogeneous behavior is approximated at the largescale by a slowly varying or homogeneous behavior. The incomplete macroscale model (1) represents the knowledge we have about thepossible form of the effective macroscale model. Several proposals have been made regarding general methodologies fordesigning multiscale algorithms. Even though the polymer model is still empirical, such an approachusually provides a better physical picture than models based onempirical constitutive laws. The most important ingredient in such a method is the Hamiltonianwhich should consist of the quantum mechanical Hamiltonian for theactive region, the classical Hamiltonian for the rest as well as thepart that represents the interaction between the two regions. Anotherimportant ingredient is how one terminates the quantum mechanicalregion, in particular, the covalent bonds.

The authors wish to withhold the code for commercialization purposes. This includes the database of microscale simulations and a Python code implementing the optimization. Importantly, the displacement field is uniformly initialized for all cases with the vector \(0,0\;\)m. Moreover, to minimize strain overshoot and consequently exceeding the strain bounds (see Table 1), five intermediate uniformly spaced load steps are employed in all cases. The main ideas behind this procedure are quite general and can becarried over to general linear or nonlinear models. The procedureallows one to eliminate a subset of degrees of freedom, and obtain ageneralized Langevin type of equation for the remaining degrees offreedom.
Mesoscopic and multiscale modelling in materials
This procedure is initiated by pre-populating the microscale parameter space with the simulation nodes of a full-factorial Design Of Experiments (DOE) (Antony 2023). The spatial distribution of nodes is derived using both the parameter bounds and the corresponding discretization resolution (levels) detailed in Table 1. In combination, this results in a total of 24, 880, 481 simulation nodes, with each configuration constituting a unique permutation of both geometrical parameters and macroscale strains.

This approach ensures that microscale data are only collected for the regions of the microscale parameter space that the optimizer traverses through. The microscale model represents a data-driven continuous functional which relates geometric parameters and the local macroscale strain tensor to the local macroscale stress tensor for each element within the macroscale domain. This model is directly integrated within the macroscale model and permits the accurate computation of macroscale displacements for two-scale structures and is discussed in detail in Sect.
Multiscale analysis
In the equation-free approach, particularly patchdynamics or the gap-tooth scheme, the starting point is the microscalemodel. Various tricks are then used to entice the microscalesimulations on small domains to behave like a full simulation on thewhole domain. The basic idea is to use microscalesimulations on patches (which are local spatial-temporal domains) to mimicthe macroscale behavior of a system through interpolation inspace and extrapolation in time. HMM has been used on a variety of problems, includingstochastic simulation algorithms (SSA) with disparate rates,elliptic partial differential equations with multiscale data,and ordinary differential equations (ODE) with multiple time scales.
In addition, the computational benefits afforded by concurrently coupling the micro- and macroscale models in the context of multiscale nonlinear elasticity is also presented. Furthermore, the optimized macroscale displacement fields generated during the optimization procedure are verified using single-scale finite-element analysis, to demonstrate the validity of the present framework. Concurrently coupling the micro- and macroscale models offers significant benefits, as evidenced by a single execution of the macroscale model. In this instance, only 1.45% of the total strain space is resolved to compute the macroscale displacement field, even though the direct strains exceed 24%.
Traditional approaches to modeling
- Classical perturbation methods generally breakdown because of resonances that lead to what are called secularterms.
- This includes the database of microscale simulations and a Python code implementing the optimization.
- Once more, the necessity of nonlinear analysis is verified by performing an identical simulation using the reconstructed geometry and linear elastic assumptions.
- In addition, the computational benefits afforded by concurrently coupling the micro- and macroscale models in the context of multiscale nonlinear elasticity is also presented.
- Horstemeyer 2009,16 201217 presented a historical review of the different disciplines (mathematics, physics, and materials science) for solid materials related to multiscale materials modeling.
In response to these challenges, we present MuSpAn, a Multiscale Spatial Analysis package designed to provide straightforward access to both well-established and cutting-edge mathematical analysis tools. MuSpAn provides easy to use, flexible, and interactive access to quantitative methods from fields including spatial statistics, topological data analysis, network theory, geometry, probability and ecology. Users can construct custom pipelines from across these fields to address specific biological problems, or conduct unbiased exploration of their data for discovery spatial biology. In summary, MuSpAn is an extensive platform which enables multiscale analysis of spatial data, ranging from the subcellular to the tissue-scale.
Approximating Partial Differential Equations without Boundary Conditions
This process is systematically repeated until a parent microstructure is identified for each one of the 24, 880, 481 unique permutations. This enables the derivation of all permutations from 6, 380, 010 unique combinations of geometrical parameters and macroscale strains. Furthermore, in order to minimize the storage overhead, microscale data are stored exclusively for parent microstructures. Transformations matrices are then applied on-the-fly during the optimization procedure to recover the corresponding second Piola–Kirchhoff stress tensors.
- From the DOE national labs perspective, the shift from large-scale systems experiments mentality occurred because of the 1996 Nuclear Ban Treaty.

- In this way, one can more efficiently eliminate the errors ondifferent scales using different grids.
- A classical example in which matched asymptotics has been used isPrandtl’s boundary layer theory in fluid mechanics.
- Of course, the usefulness of HMMdepends on how much prior knowledge one has about the macroscalemodel.
