Microstructural enrichment functions based on stochastic Wang tilings

This paper presents an approach to constructing microstructural enrichment functions to local fields in non-periodic heterogeneous materials with applications in the partition of unity and hybrid finite element schemes. It is based on a concept of aperiodic tilings by the Wang tiles, designed to produce microstructures morphologically similar to original media and enrichment functions that satisfy the underlying governing equations. An appealing feature of this approach is that the enrichment functions are defined only on a small set of square tiles and extended to larger domains by an inexpensive stochastic tiling algorithm in a non-periodic manner. The feasibility of the proposed methodology is demonstrated on constructions of stress enrichment functions for two-dimensional mono-disperse particulate media.
