ABSTRACT
In this paper, we present an enhanced version of the two-scale numerical homogenization
with application to asphalt concrete modeling in the elastic range. We modified the method
of effective material parameters tensor assessment for analysis based on the representative
volume element (RVE). As the method was tested on asphalt concrete, we also present two
possible approaches to geometrical modeling of its internal microstructure. Selected numerical
tests were performed to verify the proposed approach. The main novelties of this study,
i.e. higher order approximation at the macroscale and modification of boundary conditions
at the level of RVE analysis, improved the efficiency of our methodology by error reduction.
Practically, we obtained a reduction of NDOF up to 3 orders of magnitude (comparing to
full-scale and homogenized analysis) that was accompanied with the introduced error of
order of several percent (measured in L2 norm).
