GRK 828:  Micro-Macro Interactions of Structured Media and Particle Systems

• Subject Area: Production Technology
• Term: from 2002 to 2008
• Project identifier: Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) - Project number 273535

Many materials or media in nature and technology possess a microstructure, which determines their macro behaviour. Despite of possible difficulties to describe the morphology of this structure, the knowledge of the relevant mechanisms is often better understand on the micro than on the macro scale.On the other hand, not all information on the microlevel is relevant for the understanding of the macro behaviour. Therefore, avaraging and homogenization methods are needed to select only that information from the micro scale, which influences the macro scale. These methods would also open the possibility to design or to influence microstructures with the objective to optimize their macro behaviour.
