Similarity:

The Mori-Tanaka effective stiffness tensor is shown to be asymmetric in general. This tensor is proven to be symmetric for composites with isotropic inclusions, or with spherical reinforcements. Symmetry is also proven for the case of unidirectional fibers, of any shape and material. The Mori-Tanaka theory is shown to yield physically unacceptable predictions at the high concentration limit.

Extended Hashin-Shtrikman variational principles

Similarity:

Internal parameters, eigenstrains, or eigenstresses, arise in functionally graded materials, which are typically present in particulate, layered, or rock bodies. These parameters may be realized in different ways, e.g., by prestressing, temperature changes, effects of wetting, swelling, they may also represent inelastic strains, etc. In order to clarify the use of eigenparameters (eigenstrains or eigenstresses) in physical description, the classical formulation of elasticity is presented,...

Homogenization of linear elasticity equations

Jan Franců (1982)

Aplikace matematiky

Similarity:

The homogenization problem (i.e. the approximation of the material with periodic structure by a homogeneous one) for linear elasticity equation is studied. Both formulations in terms of displacements and in terms of stresses are considered and the results compared. The homogenized equations are derived by the multiple-scale method. Various formulae, properties of the homogenized coefficients and correctors are introduced. The convergence of displacment vector, stress tensor and local...
