... of a kind because it involves a multi-scaling approach because of the different aspects of the design. Literature supports for the different scaling theories but, to the best of the authors’ knowledge, fails to provide an integrated approach that considers the combined effects of scaling. Alberto...

...Paul G. Tucker Purpose The purpose of this paper is to outline the extensive multi-scale and multi-physics challenges when simulating future aircraft and offer strategies to help deal with some of these challenges. Design/methodology/approach To help with the multi-scale challenges...

...De-Cheng Feng; Cheng-Dong Yang; Xiao-Dan Ren Purpose This paper aims to present a multi-scale stochastic damage model (SDM) for concrete and apply it to the stochastic response analysis of reinforced concrete shear wall structures. Design/methodology/approach The proposed SDM is constructed...

... homogenization frameworks. In Giusti et al. (2009) , a multi-scale finite element modelling scheme is used to determine the yield locus of ductile materials from the analysis of two-dimensional representative volume elements (RVEs) containing a single circular void. A similar study is carried...
