Multiscale Homogenization in Kirchhoff’s Nonlinear Plate Theory
نویسنده
چکیده
The interplay between multiscale homogenization and dimension reduction for nonlinear elastic thin plates is analyzed in the case in which the scaling of the energy corresponds to Kirchhoff’s nonlinear bending theory for plates. Different limit models are deduced depending on the relative ratio between the thickness parameter h and the two homogenization scales ε and ε.

Multiscale Analysis of Transverse Cracking in Cross-Ply Laminated Beams Using the Layerwise Theory
A finite element model based on the layerwise theory is developed for the analysis of transverse cracking in cross-ply laminated beams. The numerical model is developed using the layerwise theory of Reddy, and the von Kármán type nonlinear strain field is adopted to accommodate the moderately large rotations of the beam. The finite element beam model is verified by comparing the present numeric...
متن کاملA FEM Multiscale Homogenization Procedure using Nanoindentation for High Performance Concrete
This paper aims to develop a numerical multiscale homogenization method for prediction of elasto-viscoplastic properties of a high performance concrete (HPC). The homogenization procedure is separated into two-levels according to the microstructure of the HPC: the mortar or matrix level and the concrete level. The elasto-viscoplastic behavior of individual microstructural phases of the matrix a...
متن کاملHomogenization of the Nonlinear Bending Theory for Plates
We carry out the spatially periodic homogenization of nonlinear bending theory for plates. The derivation is rigorous in the sense of Γ-convergence. In contrast to what one naturally would expect, our result shows that the limiting functional is not simply a quadratic functional of the second fundamental form of the deformed plate as it is the case in nonlinear plate theory. It turns out that t...
متن کاملLinearized Numerical Homogenization Method for Nonlinear Monotone Parabolic Multiscale Problems
We introduce and analyze an efficient numerical homogenization method for a class of nonlinear parabolic problems of monotone type in highly oscillatory media. The new scheme avoids costly Newton iterations and is linear at both the macroscopic and the microscopic scales. It can be interpreted as a linearized version of a standard nonlinear homogenization method. We prove the stability of the m...
متن کاملNumerical Homogenization of Monotone Elliptic Operators
In this paper we construct a numerical homogenization technique for nonlinear elliptic equations. In particular, we are interested in when the elliptic flux depends on the gradient of the solution in a nonlinear fashion which makes the numerical homogenization procedure nontrivial. The convergence of the numerical procedure is presented for the general case using G-convergence theory. To calcul...
