abstract
For some heterogeneous materials, it is not practical to model the microstructure directly using traditional finite elements. Furthermore, it is not always accurate to use homogenized properties. Macro elements have been developed which permit microstructure within a single element. These macro elements performed well in initial tests. Copyright 1993 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd
