In this paper a second-order homogenization approach for periodic material is derived from an appropriate representation of the down-scaling that correlates the microdisplacement field to the macro-displacement field and the macro-strain…
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 propose a methodology for the homogenization of periodic elastic lattices that covers the case of unstable lattices, having affine (macroscopic) or periodic (microscopic) mechanisms. The singular cell problems that are encountered when a…
As the size of a mechanical lattice with beam-modeled edges approaches zero, it undergoes homogenization into a continuum model, which exhibits unusual mechanical properties that deviate from classical Cauchy elasticity, named micropolar…
The periodic cellular topology characterizing the microscale structure of a heterogeneous material may allow the finest functional customization of its acoustic dispersion properties. The paper addresses the free propagation of elastic…
Biological cells are built up from many different constituents of varying size and stiffness which all contribute to the cell's mechanical properties. Despite this heterogeneity, in the analysis of experimental measurements such as atomic…
Two classes of non-linear elastic materials are derived via two-dimensional homogenization. These materials are equivalent to a periodic grid of axially-deformable and axially-preloaded structural elements, subject to incremental…
This study proposes a multi-field asymptotic homogenization for the analysis of thermo-piezoelectric materials with periodic microstructures. The effect of the microstructural heterogeneity is taken into account by means of periodic…
A heterogeneous Cauchy elastic material may display micromechanical effects that can be modeled in a homogeneous equivalent material through the introduction of higher-order elastic continua. Asymptotic homogenization techniques provide an…
A simplified model of periodic chiral beam-lattices containing local resonators has been formulated to obtain a better understanding of the influence of the chirality and of the dynamic characteristics of the local resonators on the…
A multiscale asymptotic homogenization method for periodic microstructured materials in presence of thermoelasticity with periodic spatially dependent one relaxation time is introduced. The asymptotic expansions of the micro-displacement…
The paper extends and enhances in several ways the recently proposed homogenization theory of metamaterials [J. Opt. Soc. Am. B 28, 577 (2011)]. The theory is based on a direct analysis of fields in the lattice cells rather than on an…
The aim of the paper is to introduce an alternative notion of two-scale convergence which gives a more natural modeling approach to the homogenization of partial differential equations with periodically oscillating coefficients: while…
In the framework of linearized elasticity, we study thin elastic composite plates with thickness $\delta$. The plates contain small, rigid rectangular plates distributed periodically along $\varepsilon$. Between two neighboring rigid plates…
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…
The use of multifunctional composite materials adopting piezo-electric periodic cellular lattice structures with auxetic elastic behavior is a recent and promising solution in the design of piezoelectric sensors. In the present work,…
Many biological and engineering materials have nonperiodic microstructures for which classical periodic homogenization results do not apply. Certain nonperiodic microstructures may be approximated by locally periodic microstructures for…
Two novel chiral block lattice topologies are here conceived having interesting auxetic and acoustic behavior. The architectured chiral material is made up of a periodic repetition of square or hexagonal rigid and heavy blocks connected by…
It is well known that the classical energetically consistent micropolar model has limits in simulating the frequency band structure of packed granular materials (see Merkel et al., 2011). It is here shown that if a standard continualization…
We present a computational framework for two-scale asymptotic homogenization to determine the intrinsic magnetic permeability of composites. To this end, considering linear magnetostatics, both vector and scalar potential formulations are…
