Hierarchical Rank-One Sequence Convexification for the Relaxation of Variational Problems with Microstructures

Hierarchical Rank-One Sequence Convexification for the Relaxation of Variational Problems with Microstructures

This paper presents an efficient algorithm for the approximation of the rank-one convex hull in the context of nonlinear solid mechanics. It is based on hierarchical rank-one sequences and simultaneously provides first and second derivative information essential for the calculation of mechanical stresses and the computational minimization of discretized energies. …
