ted to each macroscopic integration point. All problems are discretized using the finite element method (FEM). A mesoscopic subproblem is associated to each macroscopic integration point; on each subproblem boundary conditions based on the macroscopic velocity gradient tensor (L) are imposed. By means of each mesoscopic solution, the macroscopic stress tensor (τ ) is obtained by averaging the mesoscopic stresses over the mesoscopic domain2.
