Bloch wave homogenization of linear elasticity system

Sista Sivaji Ganesh, Muthusamy Vanninathan (2005)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

In this article, the homogenization process of periodic structures is analyzed using Bloch waves in the case of system of linear elasticity in three dimensions. The Bloch wave method for homogenization relies on the regularity of the lower Bloch spectrum. For the three dimensional linear elasticity system, the first eigenvalue is degenerate of multiplicity three and hence existence of such a regular Bloch spectrum is not guaranteed. The aim here is to develop all necessary spectral tools to overcome...

Error estimates for the ultra weak variational formulation in linear elasticity

Teemu Luostari, Tomi Huttunen, Peter Monk (2013)

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

We prove error estimates for the ultra weak variational formulation (UWVF) in 3D linear elasticity. We show that the UWVF of Navier’s equation can be derived as an upwind discontinuous Galerkin method. Using this observation, error estimates are investigated applying techniques from the theory of discontinuous Galerkin methods. In particular, we derive a basic error estimate for the UWVF in a discontinuous Galerkin type norm and then an error estimate in the L2(Ω) norm in terms of the best approximation...
