Nonlinear Discrete Homogenized Model for Out-of-Plane Loaded Masonry Walls

This paper presents a simple and reliable homogenization approach coupled with rigid elements and homogenized interfaces for the analysis of out-of-plane loaded masonry panels. The homogenization approach proposed is a coarse finite element discretization wherein bricks are meshed with a few elastic...
