From: Enriched continuum for multi-scale transient diffusion coupled to mechanics
Steps involved in the development of the enriched continuum formulation: first, performing computational homogenization, the solution of a highly heterogeneous problem also known as the direct numerical simulation (a) is replaced by a two-scale macro and microscale coupled problem (b), next model reduction is performed at the microscale yielding an enriched continuum formulation (c)
