The generalized method of cells and high-fidelity generalized method of cells micromechanical models - A review

The models of the generalized method of cells and the recently developed high-fidelity generalized method of cells are reviewed. These two methods are micromechanical theories that are capable of providing the overall behavior of periodic multiphase materials of various types, including thermoelastic, viscoelastic, thermo-inelastic, and electromagnetothermoelastic materials. Both infinitesimal and finite deformation analyses of multiphase composites are discussed.
