Two-scale homogenization for a model in strain gradient plasticity

Alessandro Giacomini, Alessandro Musesti (2011)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

Similarity:

Using the tool of two-scale convergence, we provide a rigorous mathematical setting for the homogenization result obtained by Fleck and Willis [ (2004) 1855–1888] concerning the effective plastic behaviour of a strain gradient composite material. Moreover, moving from deformation theory to flow theory, we prove a convergence result for the homogenization of quasistatic evolutions in the presence of isotropic linear hardening.

Spatial heterogeneity in 3D-2D dimensional reduction

Jean-François Babadjian, Gilles A. Francfort (2010)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

Similarity:

A justification of heterogeneous membrane models as zero-thickness limits of a cylindral three-dimensional heterogeneous nonlinear hyperelastic body is proposed in the spirit of Le Dret (1995). Specific characterizations of the 2D elastic energy are produced. As a generalization of Bouchitté (2002), the case where external loads induce a density of bending moment that produces a Cosserat vector field is also investigated. Throughout, the 3D-2D dimensional reduction is viewed as a problem...

A brief introduction to homogenization and miscellaneous applications

Grégoire Allaire (2012)

ESAIM: Proceedings

Similarity:

This paper is a set of lecture notes for a short introductory course on homogenization. It covers the basic tools of periodic homogenization (two-scale asymptotic expansions, the oscillating test function method and two-scale convergence) and briefly describes the main results of the more general theory of −  or −convergence. Several applications of the method are given: derivation of Darcy’s law for flows in porous media, derivation...

Homogenization of unbounded functionals and nonlinear elastomers. The case of the fixed constraints set

Luciano Carbone, Doina Cioranescu, Riccardo De Arcangelis, Antonio Gaudiello (2010)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

Similarity:

The paper is a continuation of a previous work of the same authors dealing with homogenization processes for some energies of integral type arising in the modeling of rubber-like elastomers. The previous paper took into account the general case of the homogenization of energies in presence of pointwise oscillating constraints on the admissible deformations. In the present paper homogenization processes are treated in the particular case of fixed constraints set, in which minimal coerciveness...

Multiscale modelling of sound propagation through the lung parenchyma

Paul Cazeaux, Jan S. Hesthaven (2014)

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

Similarity:

In this paper we develop and study numerically a model to describe some aspects of sound propagation in the human lung, considered as a deformable and viscoelastic porous medium (the parenchyma) with millions of alveoli filled with air. Transmission of sound through the lung above 1 kHz is known to be highly frequency-dependent. We pursue the key idea that the viscoelastic parenchyma structure is highly heterogeneous on the small scale and use two-scale homogenization techniques to...

Linearized plastic plate models as Γ-limits of 3D finite elastoplasticity

Elisa Davoli (2014)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

Similarity:

The subject of this paper is the rigorous derivation of reduced models for a thin plate by means of -convergence, in the framework of finite plasticity. Denoting by the thickness of the plate, we analyse the case where the scaling factor of the elasto-plastic energy per unit volume is of order , with ≥ 3. According to the value of , partially or fully linearized models are deduced, which correspond, in the absence of plastic deformation, to the Von Kármán plate theory...

On periodic homogenization in perfect elasto-plasticity

Gilles A. Francfort, Alessandro Giacomini (2014)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

Similarity:

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.

On a variant of random homogenization theory: convergence of the residual process and approximation of the homogenized coefficients

Frédéric Legoll, Florian Thomines (2014)

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

Similarity:

We consider the variant of stochastic homogenization theory introduced in [X. Blanc, C. Le Bris and P.-L. Lions, 343 (2006) 717–724.; X. Blanc, C. Le Bris and P.-L. Lions, 88 (2007) 34–63.]. The equation under consideration is a standard linear elliptic equation in divergence form, where the highly oscillatory coefficient is the composition of a periodic matrix with a stochastic diffeomorphism. The homogenized limit of this problem has been identified in [X. Blanc, C. Le Bris and P.-L....
