FFT-based homogenization in Python is a numerical software for evaluating guaranteed upper-lower bounds on homogenized properties. The algorithms implemented here are based on the papers in references .
- The code now contains modelling using tesors with a low rank tensor approximation.
The basic manual can be found at
or downloaded at
Tutorials can be found in a folder '/tutorial'.
No special installation is required. However, the folder with the code has to be in the python path.
The code is optimised for Python (version 3.6) and depends on the following numerical libraries:
- NumPy (version 1.16) and
- SciPy (version 1.3) for scientific computing as well as on the
- Matplotlib (version 3.1) for plotting
- StoPy for uncertainty quantification
- ttpy Python implementation of the Tensor Train (TT)-Toolbox
The code is based on the following papers, where you can find more theoretical information.
