The Pearl River Delta region includes nine cities in Guangzhou, Foshan, Zhaoqing, Shenzhen, Dongguan, Huizhou, Zhuhai, Zhongshan and Jiangmen in Guangdong Province, with a total area of 56,000 square kilometers. It is one of the three largest urban agglomerations in China with the most developed industry and the densest population. Among them,...

Generalized grain cluster method for multiscale response of multiphase materials

A multiscale approach termed the generalized grain cluster method (GGCM) is presented, which can be applied for the prediction of the macroscopic behavior of an aggregate of single crystal grains composing a multiphase material. The GGCM is based on the minimization of a functional that depends on the microscopic deformation gradients in the...
