Abstract

Abstract: In this study, a 3-dimensional (3D) implementation of representative volumeelement homogenization using bond-based peridynamic formulation is presented.Periodic boundary condition is established by coupling the displacements ofperiodic point pairs. Homogenized (effective) material properties are obtainedbased on peridynamic displacement gradient tensor. The current approach isvalidated by considering a composite material without defects and comparinghomogenized properties with results obtained from another homogenizationapproach. Next, the capability of the current approach is demonstrated byconsidering randomly generated cracks with arbitrary orientation and location.It can be concluded that the current approach can be an alternative approach toobtain 3-dimensional homogenized material properties for heterogeneous materialswith defects.
