Abstract

In this paper, we analyze the embedding cell method, an algorithm which has been developed for the numerical homogenization of metal-ceramic composite materials. We show the convergence of the iteration scheme of this algorithm and the coincidence of the material properties predicted by the limit with the effective material properties provided by the analytical homogenization theory in three situations, namely for a one dimensional linear elasticity model, a simple one dimensional plasticity model and a two dimensional model of linear hyperelastic isotropic materials with constant shear modulus and slightly varying first Lam\'e parameter.
