Abstract
A new micro-macro computational strategy is proposed for the analysis of st ructures which are described up to the micro level, such as composite struc tures. The description of micro and macro quantities is performed on the in terface arising from the decomposition of the structure into an assembly of substructures and interfaces. A traction-based version of the micro-macro strategy is described and the influence of the numerical parameters as well as the performance of the approach are discussed.
