Download or read book Homogenization Methods for Multiscale Mechanics written by Chiang C. Mei and published by World Scientific. This book was released on 2010 with total page 349 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In many physical problems several scales present either in space or in time, caused by either inhomogeneity of the medium or complexity of the mechanical process. A fundamental approach is to first construct micro-scale models, and then deduce the macro-scale laws and the constitutive relations by properly averaging over the micro-scale. The perturbation method of multiple scales can be used to derive averaged equations for a much larger scale from considerations of the small scales. In the mechanics of multiscale media, the analytical scheme of upscaling is known as the Theory of Homogenization The authors share the view that the general methods of homogenization should be more widely understood and practiced by applied scientists and engineers. Hence this book is aimed at providing a less abstract treatment of the theory of homogenization for treating inhomogeneous media, and at illustrating its broad range of applications. Each chapter deals with a different class of physical problems. To tackle a new problem, the novel approach of first discussing the physically relevant scales, then identifying the small parameters and their roles in the normalized governing equations is adopted. The details of asymptotic analysis are only explained afterwards.

Download or read book Homogenization Methods written by Rainer Glüge and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2023-02-20 with total page 218 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Almost all materials are inhomogeneous at the microscale. Typical examples are fiber- and grain structures made of anisotropic phases. These cannot be accounted for in detail in engineering calculations. Instead, effective, homogeneous material properties are used. These are obtained from the inhomogeneous structures by homogenization methods. This book provides a structured overview of the analytical homogenization methods, including the most common estimates, bounds, and Fourier methods. The focus is on linear and anisotropic constitutive relationships, like Hookean elasticity and Fourier’s law for thermal conduction. All sections are accompanied by example calculations, including program code that is also available online.

This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 279 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Structural topology optimization is a fast growing field that is finding numerous applications in automotive, aerospace and mechanical design processes. Homogenization is a mathematical theory with applications in several engineering problems that are governed by partial differential equations with rapidly oscillating coefficients Homogenization and Structural Topology Optimization brings the two concepts together and successfully bridges the previously overlooked gap between the mathematical theory and the practical implementation of the homogenization method. The book is presented in a unique self-teaching style that includes numerous illustrative examples, figures and detailed explanations of concepts. The text is divided into three parts which maintains the book's reader-friendly appeal.
Download or read book Computational Homogenization of Heterogeneous Materials with Finite Elements written by Julien Yvonnet and published by Springer. This book was released on 2019-06-11 with total page 223 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This monograph provides a concise overview of the main theoretical and numerical tools to solve homogenization problems in solids with finite elements. Starting from simple cases (linear thermal case) the problems are progressively complexified to finish with nonlinear problems. The book is not an overview of current research in that field, but a course book, and summarizes established knowledge in this area such that students or researchers who would like to start working on this subject will acquire the basics without any preliminary knowledge about homogenization. More specifically, the book is written with the objective of practical implementation of the methodologies in simple programs such as Matlab. The presentation is kept at a level where no deep mathematics are required.

Download or read book Numerical Homogenization by Localized Decomposition written by Axel Målqvist and published by SIAM. This book was released on 2020-11-23 with total page 120 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents the first survey of the Localized Orthogonal Decomposition (LOD) method, a pioneering approach for the numerical homogenization of partial differential equations with multiscale data beyond periodicity and scale separation. The authors provide a careful error analysis, including previously unpublished results, and a complete implementation of the method in MATLAB. They also reveal how the LOD method relates to classical homogenization and domain decomposition. Illustrated with numerical experiments that demonstrate the significance of the method, the book is enhanced by a survey of applications including eigenvalue problems and evolution problems. Numerical Homogenization by Localized Orthogonal Decomposition is appropriate for graduate students in applied mathematics, numerical analysis, and scientific computing. Researchers in the field of computational partial differential equations will find this self-contained book of interest, as will applied scientists and engineers interested in multiscale simulation.

Download or read book Homogenization of Coupled Phenomena in Heterogenous Media written by Jean-Louis Auriault and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2010-01-05 with total page 479 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Both naturally-occurring and man-made materials are often heterogeneous materials formed of various constituents with different properties and behaviours. Studies are usually carried out on volumes of materials that contain a large number of heterogeneities. Describing these media by using appropriate mathematical models to describe each constituent turns out to be an intractable problem. Instead they are generally investigated by using an equivalent macroscopic description - relative to the microscopic heterogeneity scale - which describes the overall behaviour of the media. Fundamental questions then arise: Is such an equivalent macroscopic description possible? What is the domain of validity of this macroscopic description? The homogenization technique provides complete and rigorous answers to these questions. This book aims to summarize the homogenization technique and its contribution to engineering sciences. Researchers, graduate students and engineers will find here a unified and concise presentation. The book is divided into four parts whose main topics are Introduction to the homogenization technique for periodic or random media, with emphasis on the physics involved in the mathematical process and the applications to real materials. Heat and mass transfers in porous media Newtonian fluid flow in rigid porous media under different regimes Quasi-statics and dynamics of saturated deformable porous media Each part is illustrated by numerical or analytical applications as well as comparison with the self-consistent approach.
