The finite element analysis of engineering structures usually assumes a homogeneous as well as a continuous medium. The heterogeneity of matter, which is always found on a sufficiently small length scale is neglected by replacing the inhomogeneous medium through a model of a mathematically homogenized material. The macroscopic constitutive behaviour is derived from volume averaging procedures that smear the microscopic heterogeneities. (© 2008 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)
