Abstract
A numerical homogenization scheme is presented to model glass particle-toughened polymer materials under dynamic loading. A constitutive law is developed for the polymer material and validated by comparing the results to experimental test data. A similar constitutive law as that of the polymer material with unknown material parameters is assumed for the glass particle-toughened polymer. A homogenization scheme is used to determine the unknown material parameters from the boundary value problem (BVP) of a representative volume element. Unlike the standard computational homogenization scheme, the proposed numerical homogenization scheme can be used after localization occurs in the material. The proposed multiscale model is then verified against direct numerical simulation.
