Homogenization approach to water transport in plant tissues with periodic microstructures
Water flow in plant tissues takes place in two different physical domains separated by semipermeable membranes: cell insides and cell walls. The assembly of all cell insides and cell walls are termed symplast and apoplast, respectively. Water transport is pressure driven in both, where osmosis plays an essential role in membrane crossing. In this paper, a microscopic model of water flow and tra...
متن کاملHomogenization estimates for fiber-reinforced elastomers with periodic microstructures
This work presents a homogenization-based constitutive model for the mechanical behavior of elastomers reinforced with aligned cylindrical fibers subjected to finite deformations. The proposed model is derived by making use of the second-order homogenization method [Lopez-Pamies, O., Ponte Castañeda, P., 2006a. On the overall behavior, microstructure evolution, and macroscopic stability in rein...
متن کاملThe needle problem approach to non-periodic homogenization
We introduce a new method to homogenization of non-periodic problems and illustrate the approach with the elliptic equation −∇·(a∇u) = f . On the coefficients a we assume that solutions u of homogeneous εproblems on simplices with average slope ξ ∈ R have the property that flux-averages − ∫ a∇u ∈ R converge, for ε → 0, to some limit a∗(ξ), independent of the simplex. Under this assumption, whic...
متن کاملPeriodic homogenization with an interface
We consider a diffusion process with coefficients that are periodic outside of an ‘interface region’ of finite thickness. The question investigated in the articles is the limiting long time / large scale behaviour of such a process under diffusive rescaling. It is clear that outside of the interface, the limiting process must behave like Brownian motion, with diffusion matrices given by the sta...
متن کاملTwo-Scale Convergence for Locally Periodic Microstructures and Homogenization of Plywood Structures
Abstract. The introduced notion of locally periodic two-scale convergence allows one to average a wider range of microstructures, compared to the periodic one. The compactness theorem for locally periodic two-scale convergence and the characterization of the limit for a sequence bounded in H1(Ω) are proven. The underlying analysis comprises the approximation of functions, with the periodicity w...
