Bloch wave homogenization of linear elasticity system

Sista Sivaji Ganesh, Muthusamy Vanninathan (2005)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

Similarity:

In this article, the homogenization process of periodic structures is analyzed using Bloch waves in the case of system of linear elasticity in three dimensions. The Bloch wave method for homogenization relies on the regularity of the lower Bloch spectrum. For the three dimensional linear elasticity system, the first eigenvalue is degenerate of multiplicity three and hence existence of such a regular Bloch spectrum is not guaranteed. The aim here is to develop all necessary spectral tools...

Homogenization in perforated domains with rapidly pulsing perforations

Doina Cioranescu, Andrey L. Piatnitski (2003)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

Similarity:

The aim of this paper is to study a class of domains whose geometry strongly depends on time namely. More precisely, we consider parabolic equations in perforated domains with rapidly pulsing (in time) periodic perforations, with a homogeneous Neumann condition on the boundary of the holes. We study the asymptotic behavior of the solutions as the period ε of the holes goes to zero. Since standard conservation laws do not hold in this model, a first difficulty is to get a priori estimates...

Homogenization of periodic non self-adjoint problems with large drift and potential

Grégoire Allaire, Rafael Orive (2007)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

Similarity:

We consider the homogenization of both the parabolic and eigenvalue problems for a singularly perturbed convection-diffusion equation in a periodic medium. All coefficients of the equation may vary both on the macroscopic scale and on the periodic microscopic scale. Denoting by the period, the potential or zero-order term is scaled as ε - 2 and the drift or first-order term is scaled as ε - 1 . Under a structural hypothesis on the first cell eigenvalue, which is assumed to admit a unique minimum...

Homogenization and localization in locally periodic transport

Grégoire Allaire, Guillaume Bal, Vincent Siess (2002)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

Similarity:

In this paper, we study the homogenization and localization of a spectral transport equation posed in a locally periodic heterogeneous domain. This equation models the equilibrium of particles interacting with an underlying medium in the presence of a creation mechanism such as, for instance, neutrons in nuclear reactors. The physical coefficients of the domain are ε -periodic functions modulated by a macroscopic variable, where ε is a small parameter. The mean free path of the particles...

Small amplitude homogenization applied to models of non-periodic fibrous materials

David Manceau (2007)

ESAIM: Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Analysis

Similarity:

In this paper, we compare a biomechanics empirical model of the heart fibrous structure to two models obtained by a non-periodic homogenization process. To this end, the two homogenized models are simplified using the small amplitude homogenization procedure of Tartar, both in conduction and in elasticity. A new small amplitude homogenization expansion formula for a mixture of anisotropic elastic materials is also derived and allows us to obtain a third simplified model.

Homogenization of a spectral equation with drift in linear transport

Guillaume Bal (2001)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

Similarity:

This paper deals with the homogenization of a spectral equation posed in a periodic domain in linear transport theory. The particle density at equilibrium is given by the unique normalized positive eigenvector of this spectral equation. The corresponding eigenvalue indicates the amount of particle creation necessary to reach this equilibrium. When the physical parameters satisfy some symmetry conditions, it is known that the eigenvectors of this equation can be approximated by the product...
