A comparison of homogenization, Hashin-Shtrikman bounds and the Halpin-Tsai equations

Peter Wall (1997)

Applications of Mathematics

Similarity:

In this paper we study a unidirectional and elastic fiber composite. We use the homogenization method to obtain numerical results of the plane strain bulk modulus and the transverse shear modulus. The results are compared with the Hashin-Shtrikman bounds and are found to be close to the lower bounds in both cases. This indicates that the lower bounds might be used as a first approximation of the plane strain bulk modulus and the transverse shear modulus. We also point out the connection...

Bounds and numerical results for homogenized degenerated p -Poisson equations

Johan Byström, Jonas Engström, Peter Wall (2004)

Applications of Mathematics

Similarity:

In this paper we derive upper and lower bounds on the homogenized energy density functional corresponding to degenerated p -Poisson equations. Moreover, we give some non-trivial examples where the bounds are tight and thus can be used as good approximations of the homogenized properties. We even present some cases where the bounds coincide and also compare them with some numerical results.
