M. Hamdi et alii, Frattura ed Integrità Strutturale, 49 (2019) 321-330; DOI: 10.3221/IGF-ESIS.49.32 329 Figure 6 : Variations of shear stress to square pack microstructure (2D SG). The following findings can be obtained from the results: 1. For homogenization, SwiftComp is as accurate but much more efficient than 3D FEA, not to mention that SwiftComp sometimes only requires 1D or 2D SG; 2. SwiftCompR can achieve improved efficiency while ensure satisfactory accuracy; 3. The GMC and its variants are very efficient but often sacrifice accuracy for efficiency; 4. For dehomogenization, SwiftComp is always as accurate as 3D FEA, but GMC and its variants are not, especially when handling complex microstructures.
