A micromechanical approach for the micropolar modeling of heterogeneous periodic media

Computational homogenization is adopted to assess the homogenized two-dimensional response of periodic composite materials where the typical microstructural dimension is not negligible with respect to the structural sizes. A micropolar homogenization is, therefore, considered coupling a Cosserat m...
