We investigate deep material networks (DMN). We lay the mathematical foundation of DMNs and present a novel DMN formulation, which is characterized by a reduced number of degrees of freedom. We present a efficient solution technique for nonlinear DMNs to accelerate complex two-scale simulations with minimal computational effort. A new interpolation technique is presented enabling the consideration of fluctuating microstructure characteristics in macroscopic simulations.

Biocomposites are composite materials consisting of either a polymer matrix or a filler based on biological resources. They have been widely used in numerous applications such as storage devices, photocatalysts, packaging, furniture, biosensors, energy, construction, the automotive industry, and so on due to their great versatility and satisfactory performance. This book focuses on composites made from natural materials (natural fibers and biopolymers) and relates their physical, mechanical, electrical, structural, and biological characteristics as well as their potential applications in biomedicine, pharmaceuticals, and engineering.

Faserverstärkte Kunststoffe finden Anwendung in Luft- und Raumfahrt, Automobil, Maschinenbau und Sport. Das Anwendungspotential ist jedoch noch lange nicht erschöpft, auch wegen zu hoher Bauteil- bzw. Herstellungskosten. Um dem existierenden Kostendruck Rechnung zu tragen, gewinnen die Aspekte der Automatisierung und Effizienzsteigerung immer mehr an Bedeutung. Die Ergebnisse des Verbundprojektes FLAME zeigen, dass durch Einsatz von Mikrowellen im Prozess hier deutliche Vorteile erreicht werden. Fiber reinforced plastics are used in aerospace, automotive, mechanical engineering and sports. However, the potential of its application is far from being exhausted, due to high material and manufacturing costs amongst others. To account for the existing cost pressure, the aspects of automation and efficiency enhancement gain more and more importance. The results accomplished in the joint research project FLAME show that by using microwave processing considerable benefits can be achieved.
