In this paper, an analytical method for modeling the size-dependent mechanical behavior of material systems with lamellar microstructure is proposed. The main contribution of this manuscript is the combination of the exact elastic localization relations for a periodic laminate having inhomogeneous phases with a gradient plasticity constitutive model. This allows a new formulation of the equations governing the evolution of the plastic deformation as a closed system of equations. The yield functions form a system of integro-differential equations that can be solved analytically. This new framework allows to model the size-dependent mechanical behavior of multiphase lamellar materials where the subdomains are elastoplastic single crystals. This is demonstrated using a two-phase laminate. In addition, bounds for the qualitative distributions of the plastic slip and the back stress are derived using a dimensionless quantity. The kinematic hardening due to the back stress depends on the lamella width and the slip system orientation. The back stress vanishes not only for increasing lamella widths but also in slip systems where the slip plane normal is parallel to the lamination direction.</p>","PeriodicalId":53634,"journal":{"name":"GAMM Mitteilungen","volume":"48 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-11-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/gamm.70009","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145469993","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

On the fine-scale, Neo–Hooke hyperelasticity is considered for the solid skeleton. In a third medium approach, we model the pore space as filled with a softer material of the same type. Fluid flow through the deformed pores is expressed in terms of a Stokes' flow model. The influence of the pore pressure on the deformation is neglected, resulting in a one-way coupling which allows for a sequential solution of the two physical problems. The framework of Variationally Consistent Homogenization is used to derive a two-scale formulation based on a Representative Volume Element (RVE) characterizing the microstructure. Finally, a two-step procedure to compute the deformation dependent permeability is established: Firstly, the deformation of the RVE for a given macroscale deformation gradient is computed. Secondly, sensitivities for the fluid flow through the deformed RVE are computed and used to determine the effective permeability tensor. A numerical study is conducted for sets of RVEs with the same material parameters and different porosity. For the case of uniaxial compression, a significant influence of the deformation on the effective permeability is observed: For a macroscale compression of <span></span><math>\u0000 <semantics>\u0000 <mrow>\u0000 <mn>20</mn>\u0000 <mo>%</mo>\u0000 </mrow>\u0000 <annotation>$$ 20% $$</annotation>\u0000 </semantics></math>, the effective permeability orthogonal to the compression direction is reduced by almost <span></span><math>\u0000 <semantics>\u0000 <mrow>\u0000 <mn>60</mn>\u0000 <mo>%</mo>\u0000 </mrow>\u0000 <annotation>$$ 60% $$</annotation>\u0000 </semantics></math>.</p>","PeriodicalId":53634,"journal":{"name":"GAMM Mitteilungen","volume":"48 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-10-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/gamm.70010","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145406763","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The approach leverages a low-dimensional descriptor space to represent the topology and morphology of complex mesostructures, enabling efficient navigation within the design space. Data for training is generated through numerical homogenization using a Fast Fourier Transform (FFT)-based solver, providing high-fidelity mappings from structural descriptors on the mesoscale to effective properties. A neural network (NN)-based surrogate model is trained to approximate this mapping. The inverse design task is then formulated as an optimization problem over the descriptor space, where gradient-based optimizers are applied to identify the descriptors, the inputs of the surrogate. We focus on the case of anisotropic linear elasticity and demonstrate the method using spinodoid architected materials, which offer tunable anisotropy and a low-dimensional descriptor space. The framework is validated for the inverse design targeting the anisotropic stiffness of a femoral bone sample. In addition, we propose a method to determine the anisotropy class of a given stiffness tensor. This enables a quantitative evaluation of how closely the bone's anisotropy class can be approximated by spinodoids. We analyze the influence of the optimization loss function on the inverse design outcome by comparing results across different losses. Ultimately, a logarithmic loss function is chosen, as it enables simultaneous optimization of the stiffness and compliance.</p>","PeriodicalId":53634,"journal":{"name":"GAMM Mitteilungen","volume":"48 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-10-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/gamm.70008","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145297484","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

For this purpose, the microstructure variation of the real material is quantified first in terms of the distribution of a scalar measure containing deviations of statistical measures of higher order, and then this distribution is used to construct a set of artificial microstructures to be used as volume elements within the multiscale simulation.
