Abstract

Micromorphic continuum theories provide the benefit of modelling size effects that arise in specimens with a relatively large microstructure. For the micromorphic continuum, we present the governing equations, which allow for a finite-element approximation to predict the size effects numerically. One application presented here is the computational multiscale framework for material layers with a heterogeneous micromorphic mesostructure.
