It is shown that second-order homogenization of a Cauchy-elastic dilute suspension of randomly distributed inclusions yields an equivalent second gradient (Mindlin) elastic material. This result is valid for both plane and three-dimensional…
The homogenization results obtained by Bacca et al. (Homogenization of heterogeneous Cauchy-elastic materials leads to Mindlin second-gradient elasticity. Part I: Closed form expression for the effective higher-order constitutive tensor.…
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…
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…
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…
Asymptotic homogenisation is used to systematically derive reduced-order macroscopic models of conductive behaviour in spirally-wound layered materials in which the layers have very different conductivities. The problem is motivated by 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 homogenization of auxetic cellular solids having periodic hexachiral and tetrachiral microstructure is dealt with two different techniques. The first approach is based on the representation of the cellular solid as a beam-lattice to be…
Starting from a Cauchy elastic composite with a dilute suspension of randomly distributed inclusions and characterized at first-order by a certain discrepancy tensor (see part I of the present article), it is shown that the equivalent…
A second-gradient elastic (SGE) material is identified as the homogeneous solid equivalent to a periodic planar lattice characterized by a hexagonal unit cell, which is made up of three different linear elastic bars ordered in a way that…
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…
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 general approach to the higher-order homogenization of discrete elastic networks made up of linear elastic beams or springs in dimension 2 or 3. The network may be nearly (rather than exactly) periodic: its elastic and…
We establish higher order convergence rates in periodic homogenization of fully nonlinear uniformly parabolic Cauchy problems accompanied with rapidly oscillating initial data. Such result is new even for linear problems. Here we construct…
Analytical method for the second-order homogenization of two-phase composites within Mindlin-Toupin strain gradient elasticity theory is proposed. Direct approach and self-consistent approximation are used to reduce the homogenization…
Positive definiteness and symmetry of the constitutive tensors describing a second-gradient elastic (SGE) material, which is energetically equivalent to a hexagonal planar lattice made up of axially deformable bars, are analyzed by…
This article presents a multifield asymptotic homogenization scheme for the analysis of Bloch wave propagation in non-standard thermoelastic periodic materials, leveraging on the Green-Linsdsay theory that accounts for two relaxation times.…
Elastomeric mechanical metamaterials exhibit unconventional behaviour, emerging from their microstructures often deforming in a highly nonlinear and unstable manner. Such microstructural pattern transformations lead to non-local behaviour…
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…
Owing to additive manufacturing techniques, a structure at millimeter length scale (macroscale) can be produced by using a lattice substructure at micrometer length scale (microscale). Such a system is called a metamaterial at the…
