Homogenization of thin piezoelectric perforated shells

Marius Ghergu, Georges Griso, Houari Mechkour, Bernadette Miara (2007)

ESAIM: Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Analysis

Similarity:

We rigorously establish the existence of the limit homogeneous constitutive law of a piezoelectric composite made of periodically perforated microstructures and whose reference configuration is a thin shell with fixed thickness. We deal with an extension of the Koiter shell model in which the three curvilinear coordinates of the elastic displacement field and the electric potential are coupled. By letting the size of the microstructure going to zero and by using the periodic unfolding...

A generalized strange term in Signorini’s type problems

Carlos Conca, François Murat, Claudia Timofte (2003)

ESAIM: Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Analysis - Modélisation Mathématique et Analyse Numérique

Similarity:

The limit behavior of the solutions of Signorini’s type-like problems in periodically perforated domains with period ε is studied. The main feature of this limit behaviour is the existence of a critical size of the perforations that separates different emerging phenomena as ε → 0 . In the critical case, it is shown that Signorini’s problem converges to a problem associated to a new operator which is the sum of a standard homogenized operator and an extra zero order term (“strange term”) coming...

Homogenization of evolution problems for a composite medium with very small and heavy inclusions

Michel Bellieud (2005)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

Similarity:

We study the homogenization of parabolic or hyperbolic equations like ρ ε ∂ n u ε ∂ t n - div ( a ε ∇ u ε ) = f in Ω × ( 0 , T ) + boundary conditions , n ∈ { 1 , 2 } , when the coefficients ρ ε , a ε (defined in Ø ) take possibly high values on a ε -periodic set of grain-like inclusions of vanishing measure. Memory effects arise in the limit problem.
