Research colloquium: FE² in the context of structural elements and discrete microstructure

As part of the research colloquium for students, doctoral and habiliation candidates, we cordially invite you to attend on

Tuesday, 18.02.2025, at 16:30 in room 3516 (Mönchebergstr. 7).

Mr. Julian Ochs, M.Sc will give a lecture with the title

"FE² in the context of structural elements and discrete microstructure"

in which he will present the current state of his research at the Institute of Structural Analysis.

We look forward to seeing you there!

Abstract:

Beam elements are a very efficient means of modeling large structures in the context of the finite element method. It is often assumed that the cross-section used is continuous. This excludes the consideration of discretely resolved cross-sections. For continuous cross-sections, there are already various approaches for considering physically non-linear effects or inhomogeneous cross-sections. One approach is the formulation of a multiscale model based on a homogenization method.

In this presentation, this approach is taken as a basis to extend the multiscale model and make it applicable for discrete cross-sections as well.
