Homogenization of a Composite Beam

Application ID: 118651


Beam theories are well-developed for slender structures with homogeneous materials and isotropic cross-sections.

The traditional beam theories do no apply to beams made of different materials in the cross-section. Therefore, a homogenization-based numerical model is needed to compute equivalent stiffness matrices.

In this example, the homogenization of a circular cross-section composite beam made of two different materials is shown.
