The limit behavior of a periodic assembly of a finite number of elasto-plastic phases is investigated as the period becomes vanishingly small. A limit quasi-static evolution is derived through two-scale convergence techniques. It can be thermodynamically viewed as an elasto-plastic model, albeit with an infinite number of internal variables.
A general concept of two-scale convergence is introduced and two-scale compactness theorems are stated and proved for some classes of sequences of bounded functions in involving no periodicity assumptions. Further, the relation to the classical notion of compensated compactness and the recent concepts of two-scale compensated compactness and unfolding is discussed and a defect measure for two-scale convergence is introduced.
