Modification of unfolding approach to two-scale convergence

Jan Franců (2010)

Mathematica Bohemica

Similarity:

Two-scale convergence is a powerful mathematical tool in periodic homogenization developed for modelling media with periodic structure. The contribution deals with the classical definition, its problems, the ``dual'' definition based on the so-called periodic unfolding. Since in the case of domains with boundary the unfolding operator introduced by D. Cioranescu, A. Damlamian, G. Griso does not satisfy the crucial integral preserving property, the contribution proposes a modified unfolding...

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.

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 [ 52 (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.

Alternative approaches to the two-scale convergence

Luděk Nechvátal (2004)

Applications of Mathematics

Similarity:

Two-scale convergence is a special weak convergence used in homogenization theory. Besides the original definition by Nguetseng and Allaire two alternative definitions are introduced and compared. They enable us to weaken requirements on the admissibility of test functions ψ ( x , y ) . Properties and examples are added.

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...

Homogenization of periodic multi-dimensional structures

Nadia Ansini, Andrea Braides, Valeria Chiadò Piat (1999)

Bollettino dell'Unione Matematica Italiana

Similarity:

Si studia il comportamento asintotico di una classe di funzionali integrali che possono dipendere da misure concentrate su strutture periodiche multidimensionali, quando tale periodo tende a 0. Il problema viene ambientato in spazi di Sobolev rispetto a misure periodiche. Si dimostra, sotto ipotesi generali, che un appropriato limite può venire definito su uno spazio di Sobolev usuale usando tecniche di Γ -convergenza. Il limite viene espresso come un funzionale integrale il cui integrando...
