Abstract
A new version of Hill’s lemma is presented for micro- to macrohomogenization modeling of heterogeneous Cosserat continuum in the frame of average-field theory. From the presented Hill’s lemma, new forms of rotational displacement and surface couple boundary conditions on the representative volume element are extracted and checked.
