A one-dimensional ubiquitiformal constitutive model for a bimaterial bar is proposed in this
paper. An explicit analytical expression for the effective Young modulus is then obtained,
which, unlike the fractal one, leads to a continuous displacement distribution along the
bar. Moreover, numerical results for concretes are calculated and found to be in agreement
with previous experimental data. In addition, some previous empirical and semi-empirical
constitutive models are also examined, which shows that each of these models can correspond
well to a ubiquitiformal one under a certain complexity.
