Realization of homogenization method with ABAQUS

To use the commonly finite element software to conveniently realize the calculation of homogenization method, the paper proposes two realization methods of homogenization using ABAQUS software: thermal stress method and boundary force method. The control equation of homogenization method is converted to the form which can be solved with commonly finite element software. ABAQUS user subroutine and ABAQUS scripting are programmed in this article to calculate the homogenization equations. Then the homogenized coefficient is calculated by the two proposed methods for unidirectional composite material, the results show that the two methods agree well with theoretical results.
