Multi-scale energy homogenization for 3D printed microstructures with a Diritchlet boundary condition relaxation under plastic deformation

Abstract

The present work is a proof of concept of the capabilities of paralellization in the calculation of metamaterials in a non-linear regime. In this work we subdivided the bulk material into subregions where the mechanical properties are homogenized energetically. We demonstrate that the calculation can be subdivided to save RAM memory and fit the local non-linear behaviour of the metamaterial. This methodology has the potentiality to be implemented in the parallelization of those calculations, where the right estimation of the energy of the local processes at every step is important.Comment: 5 pages, 1 figur
