Popis: In this work, a homogenization strategy for a micromorphic–type inelastic material is presented. In the spirit of FE2, a representative volume element is attached to each macroscopic quadrature point. Due to the inherent length scale of the micromorphic continuum, size effects for inelastic behavior are obtained on RVE–level. A focus is placed on the computation of the homogenized algorithmic tangent. It is determined via sensitivity analyses with respect to the boundary conditions imposed on the RVE. Following this procedure, costly single–scale computations with dense meshes can be replaced by a robust homogenization approach with optimal convergence rates.
