Mechanics of Periodically Heterogeneous Structures

Rigorous presentation of Mathematical Homogenization Theory is the subject of numerous publications. This book, however, is intended to fill the gap in the analytical and numerical performance of the corresponding asymptotic analysis of the static and dynamic behaviors of heterogenous systems. Numerous concrete applications to composite media, heterogeneous plates and shells are considered. A lot of details, numerical results for cell problem solutions, calculations of high-order terms of asymptotic expansions, boundary layer analysis etc., are included.

Non-homogeneous media are a classical but still urgent problem in solid mechanics This monograph reports the current state of homogenization methods A lot of the presented results have still not been published in English
