We propose a multiscale model for the study of blood flow, plasma filtration, and non-Fickian mass transport by a coronary drug-eluting stent. We derive an analytic solution of a one-dimensional model for non-Fickian ...

The use of recycled concrete aggregates in new concrete is an alternative that can provide economical and environmental benefits. However, the influence of the inert particles on the mechanical behavior of concrete needs ...

This paper presents a FE2 multi-scale framework for numerical modeling of the structural failure of heterogeneous quasi-brittle materials. The model is assessed by application to cementitious materials. Using the Continuum ...

First, a brief description of material multiscale computational analysis is given.Particular attention is given to the development of new reduced order models  which are addressed to specifically modeling heterogeneous ...

A full coupled multi-scale modelling using the Boundary Element Method for analysing the 2D problem of stretched plates composed of heterogeneous materials, where dissipative phenomena can be considered, is presented. Both ...

A new approach for concurrent multiscale modeling of three-dimensional crack propagation in concrete is proposed. A macroscopic model with homogenized elastic parameters is adopted in the regions where the material behaves ...

In this work, we deal with a kinetic model of cell movement that takes into consideration the structure of the extracellular matrix, considering cell membrane reactions, haptotaxis, and chemotaxis, which plays a key role ...
