Abstract In recent years the multiscale computational
homogenisation has been extensively developed. Such
micro-macro modelling does not require any constitutive
assumptions at the macro-level. The multi-scale computational
homogenisation has also been extended for the
second order continuum at the macro level Kouznetsova
V.G., Geers M.G.D., and Brekelmans V.A.M (2004). The
second-order framework is based on incorporation of the
gradient of macroscopic deformation in micro to macro
multiscale transition. The introduction of the secondorder
continuum at macro-scale takes into account the
size effect and gives more accurate results in case of
insufficient scale separation. The general framework More >
