Homogenization remains a popular subject in masonry research. Usually the complex geometry of the basic cell is replaced by a simplified geometry so that a close-form solution of the homogenization problem is possible. Many other approaches involving different approximations and ingenious assumptions have been sought. To overcome the weak approximation, a micromechanical homogenization model that consider additional internal deformation mechanisms and a model based on the polynomial expansion of the stress field inside the R.V.E. are presented.

Abstract

Homogenization remains a popular subject in masonry research. Usually the complex geometry of the basic cell is replaced by a simplified geometry so that a close-form solution of the homogenization problem is possible. Many other approaches involving different approximations and ingenious assumptions have been sought. To overcome the weak approximation, a micromechanical homogenization model that consider additional internal deformation mechanisms and a model based on the polynomial expansion of the stress field inside the R.V.E. are presented.
