Hybrid FEM formulation for multiscale modeling of the thermoelasticity

The book introduces a novel class of Hybrid/Mixed Finite Elements (HM-FE) specifically designed for addressing heat conductivity and thermoelasticity in solids. It emphasizes the independent approximation of secondary fields, such as strains and temperature gradients, and their strategic collocation with primary variables like mechanical displacements. Additionally, the HM-FEM framework is applied to explore how the porous micro-structure of materials affects overall parameters through a multiscale approach, offering insights into material behavior under varying conditions.
