A direct FEM approach to model mesoscale concrete and connect non-matching meshes in multiscale analysis

Abstract The mechanical degradation of concrete structures is a phenomenon dependent on the material heterogeneity observed at mesoscale. As the mechanical degradation is a localized phenomenon, structural members and structures may be simulated using the concurrent multiscale analysis technique. T...
