A Generalized Strain Energy-Based Homogenization Method for 2-D and 3-D Cellular Materials with and without Periodicity Constraints

A generalized strain energy-based homogenization method for 2-D and 3-D cellular materials with and without periodicity constraints is proposed using Hill’s Lemma and the matrix method for spatial frames. In this new approach, the equilibrium equations are enforced at all boundary and interior nodes...
