Multiscale homogenization of aluminum honeycomb structures: Thermal analysis with orthotropic representative volume element and finite element method

This study develops a thermal homogenization model for an aluminum honeycomb panel using the representative volume element (RVE) concept, considering the orthotropic nature of the structure. The RVE thermal homogenization method is a numerical approach for analyzing heterogeneous materials. It emplo...
