Description
Summary:Inspired by the first order numerical homogenization, we present a method for extracting continuous fluctuation fields from the Wang tile based compression of a material microstructure. The fluctuation fields are then used as enrichment basis in Extended Finite Element Method (XFEM) to reduce number of unknowns in problems with fully resolved microstructural geometry synthesized by means of the tiling concept. In addition, the XFEM basis functions are taken as reduced modes of a detailed discretization in order to circumvent the need for non-standard numerical quadratures. The methodology is illustrated with a scalar steady-state problem.
