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)

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...
