Abstract A new multiscale computational method named as extended multiscale finite element method is proposed for the mechanical analysis of closed liquid cell materials. The numerical base functions for both the displacement field and the pressure of the incompressible fluid within the closed cells are employed to establish the relationship between the macroscopic deformation and the microscopic variables such as deformation, stress, strain and fluid pressure. The results show that the extended multiscale finite element method constructed with the conventional four-node quadrilateral coarse-grid elements sometimes will have strong boundary effects and cannot predict well the fluid… More >
