The SBE is a porous (bicontinuous) microstructure consisting of a solid (polymer) skeleton, and pores filled with a liquid electrolyte. We present a variationally consistent computational homogenization scheme and exploit 3D-representation of the microstructure to compute the deformation-dependent effective mobility via direct upscaling in a two-step procedure (sequentially coupled approach). The pertinent RVE problem is established for the mechanical (equilibrium) problem under macro-scale deformation control, while adopting Neo-Hooke hyperelasticity for the fine-scale modeling of the solid skeleton. Thereby, the elastic moduli are calibrated based on experimental data for the effective response. Subsequently, Fickian diffusion, with a constant mobility in the liquid electrolyte is considered in the deformed pore space. Exploiting a pull-back to the reference configuration, we avoid remeshing while still incorporating the necessary pore space deformation. By adopting a suitable constitutive model for the fictitious solid in the pore space, we also prevent self-penetration of the solid skeleton during deformation, which mimics contact behavior without explicitly solving a computationally expensive contact problem involving contact search. Upon homogenizing the local ionic flux, we obtain the effective mobility pertaining to the macro-scale chemical potential gradient, while noting that the RVE-problem is linear in the chemical potential for a given macro-scale deformation gradient. The numerical results show that when the macro-scale loading is of compressive type, the pore volume is reduced and, as a direct consequence, the effective mobility becomes smaller. In essence, the framework can track the geometrically induced anisotropy of the RVE under mechanical loading, corresponding to a change in the computational domain for the transport problem, thereby influencing the ionic flux. E.g. for a bicontinuous SBE with 37% initial porosity and an externally applied macroscopic compression of 20% strain, we could observe up to 26% reduction in the effective mobility components.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":14311,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Solids and Structures","volume":"315 ","pages":"Article 113342"},"PeriodicalIF":3.4,"publicationDate":"2025-03-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143737933","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This problem is exacerbated in the presence of disorder (randomness) in cell geometry or material properties. Disorder necessitates larger domains for homogenization, which increase the range of wavenumbers with a branch ambiguity. To resolve this ambiguity, we utilize a Space–Time Fourier Transform (STFT)-based technique and extract primary parameters such as wavenumber and phase velocity, alongside secondary parameters including effective mass density, elastic modulus, and Willis-coupling terms for 1D multilayer media. A variation-based criterion is used to show that dynamic Representative Volume Element (RVE) can only be defined for the primary parameters. A sensitivity analysis is conducted to show that the coefficient of variation of secondary parameters is not only much higher than that of primary parameters, but also does not decrease by increasing the Statistical Volume Element (SVE) size. Our simulations predict the appearance of minor bandgaps induced by disorder. Phenomena such as blue-shift, widening, and merging of bandgaps are observed in random realizations. The STFT technique predicts homogenized parameters in both passbands, bandgaps, and can naturally be extended to higher dimensional metamaterials.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":14311,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Solids and Structures","volume":"315 ","pages":"Article 113339"},"PeriodicalIF":3.4,"publicationDate":"2025-03-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143724221","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, interpreting indentation data is complicated by the interplay of plate bending, sheet pre-tension, and foundation deformation. The challenges are further amplified in recently developed nanoindentation techniques for small-scale systems, such as 2D materials and cell membranes, where indenter size, shape, and foundation nonlinearity have been found to influence the results significantly. Here, we address these challenges by investigating a generalized indentation problem involving a pre-tensioned elastic sheet on a mattress foundation, considering both punch and spherical indenters. By linearizing the Föppl–von Kármán equations and the elastic foundation under small indentation depth, we obtain a set of asymptotic solutions that quantify the effects of pre-tension and indenter geometry on indentation stiffness. These solutions show excellent agreement with numerical solutions in various parameter regimes that we classify. We also discuss sources of nonlinearities arising from the kinematics in sheet stretching and the evolving contact radius in spherical indentation. The results should be of direct use for the nanometrology of layered materials where indentation remains one of the most accessible techniques for characterizing mechanical properties at small scales.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":14311,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Solids and Structures","volume":"315 ","pages":"Article 113346"},"PeriodicalIF":3.4,"publicationDate":"2025-03-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143724341","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The widely used analytical macroscopic models are based on idealized microstructures and strong assumptions. Such models predict linear (or weakly non-linear) dependence between the transformation plastic strain rate and the applied load, whereas experimental evidence shows that this dependence becomes highly non-linear when the applied stress becomes non-negligible with respect to the macroscopic yield stress. Such a non-linear response is not fully understood especially for phase transformations arising at high temperatures for which the product phase is often softer than the parent phase, and involving visco-plastic behavior.</div><div>Therefore to overcome this difficulty, the first key contribution of this paper is to exhibit the detailed mechanisms leading to transformation plasticity in steels undergoing austenite to ferrite phase transformation at high temperature and to explain the non-linear dependence between the transformation plastic strain and the applied load. To do so, full-field simulations of visco-plastic polycrystalline aggregates undergoing phase transformations under applied load are performed. In addition, the second key contribution consists in upscaling the outcomes obtained at the scale of the polycrystal into a macroscopic statistical model, that can be used for large simulations of industrial processes. To do so, a database of computations with various initial microstructures, grain shape distributions, and applied loads have been performed, and used to derive the macroscopic statistical model. Of course, to create such a database, a relatively short computation time should be obtained for the full-field simulations, which is achieved by using a fast Fourier transform-based algorithm.</div><div>Numerical results showed that the combination of two different mechanisms may explain the non-linear behavior of transformation plasticity with respect to the applied load.
