title = "Multiscale modelling and representative volumes: Linear-elasticity and softening",
abstract = "In order to incorporate the heterogeneous micro- or mesostructure of materials, the multiscale modelling technique seems to be an adequate analysis tool. Here, the multiscale frame is analysed as a macro-meso straight forward routine. The question of the size of the meso-level is analysed on the basis of the representative volume element (RVE) concept. For this purpose a procedure for the RVE size determination was proposed. The two issues of the RVE size determination and the multiscale routine have been analysed in the linear-elastic and softening regimes.",
