One considers linearly thermoelastic composite media, which consist of a homogeneous matrix containing a statistically homogeneous random set of ellipsoidal uncoated or coated inclusions. Effective properties (such as compliance and thermal…

In the work, a modified effective medium theory is constructed for calculating the effective properties of thermoelectric composites with different values of percolation thresholds. It is shown that even at concentrations beyond the…

In this paper an asymptotic homogenization method for the analysis of composite materials with periodic microstructure in presence of thermodiffusion is described. Appropriate down-scaling relations correlating the microscopic fields to the…

Using the holographic model for spontaneous symmetry breaking, we study some properties of the dual superfluid such as the thermodynamic exponents, Joule-Thomson coefficient, compressibility etc. Our focus is on how these properties vary…

For thermoelectric, galvanomagnetic and some other effects there may simultaneously exist two percolation thresholds, close to which the effective kinetic coefficients of macroscopically disordered media are critically dependent on the…

The paper addresses the homogenization of a micro-model of poroelasticity coupled with thermal effects for two-constituent media and with imperfect interfacial contact.The homogenized model is obtained by means of the two-scale convergence…

Theoretical analysis of the effect of thermoelectric phenomena on the relation of effective electrical and thermal conductivity in the macroscopically inhomogeneous media is carried out. Plane-layered structures, two-dimensional self-dual…

We present general calculations allowing to express the thermodynamical coefficients and thermophysical properties (compressibility, thermal coefficients and heat capacities) of a material composed of a mixture of two constituents or…

The paper is devoted to the homogenization of porous piezoelectric materials saturated by electrically inert fluid. The solid part of a representative volume element consists of the piezoelectric skeleton with embedded conductors. The pore…

In this short paper, periodic homogenization of a steady heat flow in two-component media with highly adhesive contact is performed via the two-scale convergence technique. Our micro-model is based on mass conservation for the heat flow in…

Two-phase heterogeneous materials arising in a variety of natural and synthetic situations exhibit a wide-variety of microstructures and thus display a broad-spectrum effective physical properties. Given that such properties of disordered…

The two-scale computational homogenization method is proposed for modelling of locally periodic fluid-saturated media subjected a to large deformation induced by quasistatic loading. The periodic heterogeneities are relevant to the…

A method of modelling the three-dimensional microstructure of random isotropic two-phase materials is proposed. The information required to implement the technique can be obtained from two-dimensional images of the microstructure. The…

We consider the effective properties of composite structure that includes nanocontacts between macrocrystallits of bulk material. The model of a such nanostructured composite is developed. In the mean-field approximation we calculate…

The paper introduces and analyzes a new characteristic of thermoelectric composites - their intrinsic figure of merit characterizing the influence of thermoelectric phenomena on the effective properties of composites and governing thermal…

We develop a continuum theory for thermoelectric bodies following the framework of continuum mechanics and conforming to general principles of thermodynamics. For steady states, the governing equations for local fields are intrinsically…

Although the electrical transport properties of mesoscopic metallic samples have been investigated extensively over the past two decades, the thermal properties have received far less attention. This may be due in part to the difficulty of…

We investigate the thermoelectric properties of a system near a pressure driven Mott-Hubbard transition. The dependence of the thermopower and the figure of merit on pressure and temperature within a degenerate Hubbard model for integer…

The paper deals with homogenization of a model problem describing an immiscible compressible two-phase flow in random statistically homogeneous porous media. We derive the effective (macroscopic) problem and prove the convergence of…

A diffuse-interface model for microstructure with an arbitrary number of components and phases was developed from basic thermodynamic and kinetic principles and formalized within a variational framework. The model includes a composition…
