Thermo‐mechanical analysis of periodic multiphase materials by a multiscale asymptotic homogenization approach

Abstract

A spatial and temporal multiscale asymptotic homogenization method used to simulate thermo-dynamic wave propagation in periodic multiphase materials is systematically studied. A general field governing equation of thermo-dynamic wave propagation is expressed in a unified form with both inertia and velocity terms. Amplified spatial and reduced temporal scales are, respectively, introduced to account for spatial and temporal fluctuations and non-local effects in the homogenized solution due to material heterogeneity and diverse time scales. The model is derived from the higher-order homogenization theory with multiple spatial and temporal scales. It is also shown that the modified higher-order terms bring in a non-local dispersion effect of the microstructure of multiphase materials. One-dimensional non-Fourier heat conduction and dynamic problems under a thermal shock are computed to demonstrate the efficiency and validity of the developed procedure. The results indicate the disadvantages of classical spatial homogenization. Copyright (c) 2006 John Wiley & Sons, Lt

Multiscale Methods for Composites: A Review

“…In the first case correctors for the initial conditions are useful while in the other two cases spatial and temporal multiscale methods should be applied. The interested reader is referred to [21,42,111,183] and references therein.…”

A method of two-scale thermo-mechanical analysis for porous solids with micro-scale heat transfer

“…Some of them deal with thermo-mechanical coupling phenomena [15,16]. Although the theoretical and computational aspects of the homogenization approaches seem to be mature, very few serious attempts have been made to realize the aforementioned scale effect on the heat conduction or transfer characteristics of porous solids.…”

The statistical second‐order two‐scale method for mechanical properties of statistically inhomogeneous materials

“…Fish et al generalized the mathematical homogenization theory for damage mechanical problems [30][31][32][33], molecular dynamics equations [34][35][36], and non-periodic heterogeneous media [37]. Chung et al [38] and Zhang et al [39], respectively, extended the asymptotic expansion approach for transient elasto-plastic response and thermodynamic wave propagation in periodic composite materials. Meanwhile, Cui et al proposed a multi-scale method to predict the physical and mechanical properties of periodic composites [40].…”
