Homogenization of stratified elastic media with high contrast

Analysis of PDEs 2015-10-09 v1

Abstract

We determine the asymptotic behavior of the solutions to the linear elastodynamic equations in a stratified medium comprising an alternation of possibly very stiff layers with much softer ones, when the thickness of the layers tends to zero. The limit equations may depend on higher order terms, characterizing bending effects. A part of this work is set in the context of non-periodic homogenization and an extension to stochastic homogenization is presented.
