Mechmean

This Python package contains selected mean field methods in the context of continuum mechanics with special focus on orientation averaged homogenization

The implementation is oriented as close as possible to the cited references and no emphasis is placed on run time optimization. Therefore, this package should be considered as a reference implementation which can be used to cross-validate performance-optimized implementation.
