Bounds and estimates on the effective properties for nonlinear composites

Peter Wall (2000)

Applications of Mathematics

Similarity:

In this paper we derive lower bounds and upper bounds on the effective properties for nonlinear heterogeneous systems. The key result to obtain these bounds is to derive a variational principle, which generalizes the variational principle by P. Ponte Castaneda from 1992. In general, when the Ponte Castaneda variational principle is used one only gets either a lower or an upper bound depending on the growth conditions. In this paper we overcome this problem by using our new variational...

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...

A note on bounds for non-linear multivalued homogenized operators

Nils Svanstedt (1998)

Applications of Mathematics

Similarity:

In this paper we study the behaviour of maximal monotone multivalued highly oscillatory operators. We construct Reuss-Voigt-Wiener and Hashin-Shtrikmann type bounds for the minimal sections of G-limits of multivalued operators by using variational convergence and convex analysis.
