Elastic lattices: equilibrium, invariant laws and homogenization

چکیده
In the recent years, lattice modelling proved to be a topic of renewed interest. Indeed, fields as distant as chemical modelling and biological tissue modelling use network models that appeal to similar equilibrium laws. In both cases, obtaining an equivalent continuous model allows to simplify numerical procedures. We describe an homogenization technique designed for discrete structures that provides a limit continuum mechanics model and, in the special case of hexagonal lattices, we investigate the symmetry properties of the limit constitutive law.

Multiscale Homogenization in Kirchhoff’s Nonlinear Plate Theory
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.

We characterize the macroscopic effective mechanical behavior of a graphene sheet modeled by a hexagonal lattice of elastic bars, using Γ-convergence.
متن کاملHELICITY AND PLANAR AMPLITUDES IN PION-PROTON SCATTERING AT 6.0 GeV/c
In addition to optimal conditions, invariant laws of Lorentz, parity and time reversal are imposed to find the relation between observables (spin rotation parameters) and bilinear combination of helicity amplitudes in pion-proton elastic scattering at 6.0 GeV/c. By normalizing the differential cross-section to unity, the magnitudes of helicity amplitudes and the angle between them are dete...
متن کاملTime-Invariant State Feedback Control Laws for a Special Form of Underactuated Nonlinear Systems Using Linear State Bisection
Linear state bisection is introduced as a new method to find time-invariant state feedback control laws for a special form of underactuated nonlinear systems. The specialty of the systems considered is that every unactuated state should be coupled with at least two directly actuated states. The basic idea is based on bisecting actuated states and using linear combinations with adjustable parame...
متن کاملHomogenization of Composite Vicinal Surfaces: Evolution Laws in 1+1 Dimensions
Abstract. We apply classical homogenization to derive macroscopic relaxation laws for crystal surfaces with distinct inhomogeneities at the microscale. The proposed method relies on a multiscale expansion in one spatial coordinate. This approach transcends the coarse graining applied previously via Taylor expansions. Our work offers an extension of the static homogenization formulated in a brie...
