چکیده
The study of polycrystals of shape-memory alloys and rigid-perfectly plastic materials gives rise to problems of nonlinear homogenization involving degenerate energies. This paper presents a characterization of the stress and strain fields in a class of problems in plane strain, and uses it to study examples including checkerboards and hexagonal microstructures. Consequences for shape-memory alloys and rigid-perfectly plastic materials are discussed.

Multiscale problems and homogenization for second-order Hamilton–Jacobi equations
We prove a general convergence result for singular perturbations with an arbitrary number of scales of fully nonlinear degenerate parabolic PDEs. As a special case we cover the iterated homogenization for such equations with oscillating initial data. Explicit examples, among others, are the two-scale homogenization of quasilinear equations driven by a general hypoelliptic operator and the n-sca...
متن کاملStochastic homogenization of quasilinear PDEs with a spatial degeneracy
We investigate stochastic homogenization for some degenerate quasilinear parabolic PDEs. The underlying nonlinear operator degenerates along the space variable, uniformly in the nonlinear term: the degeneracy points correspond to the degeneracy points of a reference diffusion operator on the random medium. Assuming that this reference diffusion operator is ergodic, we can prove the homogenizati...
متن کاملEffects of the asymmetric behavior of the shape memory alloy on nonlinear dynamic responses of thick sandwich plates with embedded SMA wires
In the present article, the dynamic behavior of sandwich plates with embedded shape memory alloy (SMA) wires is evaluated for two cases wherein (i) the stress-strain curve of the superelastic behavior of the SMA wires is symmetric and (ii) the mentioned curve is non-symmetric. A modified version of Brinson’s constitutive model is proposed and used. The high non-linearity in the behavior stems f...
متن کاملNonlinear Numerical Integration Scheme in Strain Space Plasticity
Strains are applied to the integration procedure in nonlinear increments todecrease the errors arising from the linearization of plastic equations. Two deformationvectors are used to achieve this. The first vector is based on the deformations obtained bythe first iteration of the equilibrium step, and the second is acquired from the sum of thesucceeding iterations. By applying these vectors and...
متن کاملPeriodic approximations of the ergodic constants in the stochastic homogenization of nonlinear second-order (degenerate) equations
We prove that the effective nonlinearities (ergodic constants) obtained in the stochastic homogenization of Hamilton-Jacobi, “viscous” Hamilton-Jacobi and nonlinear uniformly elliptic pde are approximated by the analogous quantities of appropriate “periodizations” of the equations. We also obtain an error estimate, when there is a rate of convergence for the stochastic homogenization.
