Abstract
In order to investigate the properties of microstructured materials, the underlying heterogeneous material is commonly replaced by a homogeneous material involving additional degrees of freedom. Making use of an appropriate homogenization methodology, the present contribution compares deformation states predicted by the homogenization technique to the deformation state within a reference solution. The results indicate on what terms the predicted deformation modes can be clearly interpreted from the physical point of view.
