For plane strain linear elasticity, given any anisotropic elasticity tensor $\mathbb{C}_{\rm aniso}$, we determine a best approximating isotropic counterpart $\mathbb{C}_{\rm iso}$. This is not done by using a distance measure on the space…

The inclusion of rigid elements into elastic composites may lead to superior mechanical properties for the equivalent elastic continuum, such as, for instance, extreme auxeticity. To allow full exploitation of these properties, a tool for…

Long range order and symmetry in heterogeneous materials architected on crystal lattices lead to elastic and inelastic anisotropies and thus limit mechanical functionalities in particular crystallographic directions. Here, we present a…
Homogenization in linear elliptic problems usually assumes coercivity of the accompanying Dirichlet form. In linear elasticity, coercivity is not ensured through mere (strong) ellipticity so that the usual estimates that render…
