Finite Scale Homogenization
نویسنده
چکیده
Homogenization theory is concerned with the task of extracting effective material parameters for composite media in the limit where the applied wavelength is large compared to the microstructure. Usually, this is analyzed in the extreme limit where the wavelength is infinite, but in this paper we present the framework of a method which deals with wavelengths that are comparable to the microstructure, that is, finite scale homogenization. We also give example of a few typical cases where this theory may be applied.

Adaptive Multiscale Homogenization of the Lattice Discrete Particle Model for the Analysis of Damage and Fracture in Concrete
This paper presents a new adaptive multiscale homogenization scheme for the simulation of damage and fracture in concrete structures. A two-scale homogenization method, coupling meso-scale discrete particle models to macroscale finite element models, is formulated into an adaptive framework. A continuum multiaxial failure criterion for concrete is calibrated on the basis of fine-scale simulatio...
متن کاملNumerical Homogenization and Correctors
In this paper we consider numerical homogenization and correctors for nonlinear elliptic equations. The numerical correctors are constructed for operators with homogeneous random coefficients. The construction employs two scales, one a physical scale and the other a numerical scale. A numerical homogenization technique is proposed and analyzed. This procedure is developed within finite element ...
متن کاملA unified approach to numerical homogenization of flow parameters in porous media
The aim of upscaling is to determine equivalent homogeneous parameters at a coarse-scale from a spatially oscillating fine-scale parameter distribution. A large variety of upscaling methods is available, among which the homogenization method plays an important role. This paper presents an extension of the classical homogenization method to nonlinear problems as they occur while upscaling parame...
متن کاملA Brief Introduction to Homogenization and Miscellaneous Applications
Abstract. This paper is a set of lecture notes for a short introductory course on homogenization. It covers the basic tools of periodic homogenization (two-scale asymptotic expansions, the oscillating test function method and two-scale convergence) and briefly describes the main results of the more general theory of G− or H−convergence. Several applications of the method are given: derivation o...
