Abstract
A method of numerical material testing is developed for characterizing equivalent or macroscopic mechanical and/or other physical properties of composite materials with heterogeneous microstructures. The proposed method is prepared for testing on a variety of heterogeneous microstructures and nonlinear material behavior of constituents and their interfaces under various patterns of macroscopic loading. The numerical material testing in this method is intended to be carried out by means of the finite element method with a quasi static implicit solution scheme in conjunction with the homogenization theory for periodic microstructures, i.e., unit cells.
