ABSTRACT
The paper is organized as follows. In Section 2, we present a numerical homogenization scheme where the macroscopic stress and moduli terms for a composite unit sphere consisting of an incompressible hyperelastic solid with a spherical immaterial inclusion are derived. In Section 3, a novel multiscale continuum damage model for cavity growth and Mullins’ effect is presented. The mesostructure for the compressible hyperelastic model resulting from homogenization of the mRVE are shown for macroscopic homogeneous deformation states and and the predictions of the multiscale continuum damage model to the experimental data obtained from literature are presented in Section 4.
