Abstract
⺠We carry out a direct comparison of spherical and cubical RVE. ⺠We observed a better convergence for spherical RVE, due to the better surface to volume ratio. ⺠The results indicate a spurious anisotropy induced by a cubical RVE shape, which is not the case for spherical RVE. ⺠This anisotropy is severe if localization of RVE is considered.
