Abstract

The paper investigates the mechanical behavior of structural elements of a material extruded component using a multiscale analysis based on a homogenization method. The development and validation of a homogenization model start with designing a tailor-made lattice structure. The material model is described using elastoplastic properties and Hill's yield criterion. The numerical validation of the homogenized model and its comparison with the full detail is also described.
