Abstract
This paper presented a new multiscale finite element method for mechanical analysis of irregular porous materials. Realization of the proposed approach requires synergy between a hierarchical geometric model and a mechanical model for local material properties. The geometric model can represent intermediate scales and facilitates continuous bi-directional transition between macro-and micro-scales, while the mechanical model preserves the effective material properties for each scale.
