We first consider an elastic thin heterogeneous cylinder of radius of order epsilon: the interior of the cylinder is occupied by a stiff material (fiber) that is surrounded by a soft material (matrix). By assuming that the elasticity tensor…
Starting from 3D elasticity equations we derive the model of the homogenized von K\'arm\'an plate by means of $\Gamma$-convergence. This generalizes the recent results, where the material oscillations were assumed to be periodic.
A non-local dynamic homogenization technique for the analysis of a viscoelastic heterogeneous material which displays a periodic microstructure is herein proposed. The asymptotic expansion of the micro-displacement field in the transformed…
We derive the variational limiting theory of thin films, parallel to the F\"oppl-von K\'arm\'an theory in the nonlinear elasticity, for films that have been prestrained and whose thickness is a general non-constant function. Using…
In $L_2(\mathbb{R}^d)$, we consider an elliptic differential operator $\mathcal{A}_\varepsilon = - \operatorname{div} g(\mathbf{x}/\varepsilon) \nabla + \varepsilon^{-2} V(\mathbf{x}/\varepsilon)$, $ \varepsilon > 0$, with periodic…
