We present a modified model order reduction (MOR) technique for the FFT-based simulation of composite microstructures. It utilizes the earlier introduced MOR technique (Kochmann et al. [2019]), which is based on solving the Lippmann-Schwinger equation in Fourier space by a reduced set of frequencies. Crucial for the accuracy of this MOR technique i...

... us consider an inhomogeneous periodic microstructure Ω = Ω I ∪ Ω M with inclusions Ω I embedded in a softer matrix material Ω M . One example is a microstructure with one centered spherical inclusion as shown in Figure 1. Considering small strain kinematics, the total strain ε( ¯ x, x) = ¯ ε( ¯ x) + ˜ ε(x) at the macroscopic position ¯ x and the microscopic position x is additively split into the macroscopic part ¯ ε( ¯ x) and the microscopic fluctuating part˜εpart˜ part˜ε(x), respectively. ...

... a higher number of frequencies, the errors of both solutions converge towards zero. Using the reconstruction algorithm and the compatibility step the solution for the fixed sampling pattern is improved as shown in Figure 10 in the left column. Since the microstructural fields related to the adapted sampling pattern do not have incoherent artifacts, the reconstruction algorithm does not yield any further improvement of the result and is therefore not needed. ...

The difference between the fixed and the adapted sampling pattern is rather small, while the error of the adapted sampling pattern is smaller for R < 6 % but larger for R ≥ 6 %. The range R < 6 % is of much larger interest, since the highest speed-up is gained by a set with a low number of frequencies. ...

Due to that, we just show the sampling patterns and the corresponding microstructural stress fields σ 11 for R = 1.54 % of frequencies considering these microstructures in Figures 12 -14. The results show the relation between the arrangement of the considered frequencies in the adapted sampling pattern and the geometry of the inclusion within the matrix. ...
