The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

High-performance model reduction techniques in computational multiscale homogenization (2014, background): “In micro-structures that exhibit statistical homogeneity, this domain receives the name of Representative Volume Element (RVE), whereas in micro-structures that display periodicity, it is commonly known as repeating unit cell (RUC), or simply unit cell [24].”
Micromechanics of spatially uniform heterogeneous media: A critical review and emerging approaches (2009, methodology): “A comprehensive investigation of the convergence of the complete set of elastic moduli of unidirectional composites to the periodic values with the number of fibers contained within a candidate subvolume was subsequently conducted by Drago and Pindera [47].”
