A hybrid model has been performed for modelling the thermomechanical behaviour of assembly structures with thin layers. The proposed approach called MAX-FEM model combines the matched asymptotics expansions (MAE) strategy and the eXtended Finite Element Method (X-FEM) to solve mediums with heterogeneities as embedded thin layers. Generally, a large number of finite elements is needed to solve explicitly...
