Homogenization appeared more than 100 years ago. It is an approach to study the macro-behavior of a medium by its micro-properties. In mathematics, homogenization theory considers the limitations of the sequences of the problems and its…

In a companion paper, equations for partially molten media were derived using two-scale homogenization theory. One advantage of homogenization is that material properties, such as permeability and viscosity, readily emerge. A caveat is that…

We propose to homogenize a periodic (along one direction) structure, first in order to verify the quasi-static prediction of its response to an acoustic wave arising from mixing theory, then to address the question of what becomes of this…

Defects are a ubiquitous feature of ordered media. They have certain universal features, independent of the underlying physical system, reflecting their topological origins. While the topological properties of defects are robust, they…
