Composites are widely used because their material properties can be tailored, and they offer low weight with high strength and stiffness compared to metals. However, their heterogeneous internal structure makes conventional macroscopic material tests insufficient to fully capture their behavior. Understanding composites therefore requires analysis at the microstructural level. Multiscale analysis plays a key role in identifying material properties and linking stress states between the micro and macro scales. Based on homogenization theory, multiscale analysis predicts the macroscopic behavior of heterogeneous materials by averaging the response of their microscopic structures. It also enables coupling between micro- and macro-level stress states, allowing localized damage to be investigated.
This live webinar introduces the fundamentals of multiscale analysis, homogenization, and localization using simple 1D and 2D linear examples. Practical applications, analysis examples, and demonstrations are included to support a clearer understanding of composite material behavior.
