Some Remarks on Korn Inequalities

A recent joint paper with Doina Cioranescu and Julia Orlik was concerned with the homogenization of a linearized elasticity problem with inclusions and cracks(see[Cioranescu, D., Damlamian, A. and Orlik, J., Homogenization via unfolding in periodic elasticity with contact on closed and open cracks, Asymptotic Analysis, 82, 2013, 201–232]). It required uniform estimates with respect to the homogenization parameter. A Korn inequality was used which involves unilateral terms on the boundaries where a nopenetration condition is imposed. In this paper, the author presents a general method to obtain many diverse Korn inequalities including the unilateral inequalities used in [Cioranescu, D., Damlamian, A. and Orlik, J., Homogenization via unfolding in periodic elasticity with contact on closed and open cracks, Asymptotic Analysis, 82, 2013, 201–232]. A preliminary version was presented in [Damlamian, A., Some unilateral Korn inequalities with application to a contact problem with inclusions, C. R. Acad. Sci. Paris, Ser. I,350, 2012, 861–865].     

Periodic unfolding and Robin problems in perforated domains

The periodic unfolding method was introduced in 2002 by D. Cioranescu et al. for the study of classical periodic homogenization. In this Note, we extend this method to perforated domains introducing also a boundary unfolding operator. As an application, we study the homogenization of some elliptic problems with Robin condition on the boundary of the holes. To cite this article: D. Cioranescu et al., C. R. Acad. Sci. Paris, Ser. I 342 (2006).     

Periodic unfolding and homogenizationÉclatement périodique et homogénéisation

A novel approach to periodic homogenization is proposed, based on an unfolding method, which leads to a fixed domain problem (without singularly oscillating coefficients). This method is elementary in nature and applies to cases of periodic multi-scale problems in domains with or without holes (including truss-like structures).

Homogenization of contact problem with Coulomb's friction on periodic cracks

We consider the elasticity problem in a domain with contact on multiple periodic open cracks. The contact is described by the Signorini and Coulomb‐friction conditions. The problem is nonlinear, the dissipative functional depends on the unknown solution, and the existence of the solution for fixed period of the structure is usually proven by the fix‐point argument in the Sobolev spaces with a little higher regularity, H^1+α. We rescaled norms, trace, jump, and Korn inequalities in fractional Sobolev spaces with positive and negative exponents, using the unfolding technique, introduced by Griso, Cioranescu, and Damlamian. Then we proved the existence and uniqueness of the solution for friction and period fixed. Then we proved the continuous dependency of the solution to the problem with Coulomb's friction on the given friction and then estimated the solution using fixed‐point theorem. However, we were not able to pass to the strong limit in the frictional dissipative term. For this reason, we regularized the problem by adding a fourth‐order term, which increased the regularity of the solution and allowed the passing to the limit. This can be interpreted as micro‐polar elasticity.     

穿孔区域中双曲-抛物方程均匀化问题的一个注记

In this paper, we study a class of hyperbolic-parabolic problems in periodically perforated domains with a homogeneous Neumann condition on the boundary of holes. We focus on the homogenization of these equations, which generalizes those achieved by BensoussanLions-Papanicolau and Migorski. The proof is based on the periodic unfolding method in perforated domains.

Corrector estimates in homogenization of a nonlinear transmission problem for diffusion equations in connected domains

This paper is devoted to the homogenization of a nonlinear transmission problem stated in a two-phase domain. We consider a system of linear diffusion equations defined in a periodic domain consisting of two disjoint phases that are both connected sets separated by a thin interface. Depending on the field variables, at the interface, nonlinear conditions are imposed to describe interface reactions. In the variational setting of the problem, we prove the homogenization theorem and a bidomain averaged model. The periodic unfolding technique is used to obtain the residual error estimate with a first-order corrector.     

Obtention d'équations de plaques par la méthode d'éclatement appliquée aux équations tridimensionnelles

We obtain a plate model of a hierarchical type. We give error estimates when the solution is sufficiently smooth. To cite this article: G. Griso, C. R. Acad. Sci. Paris, Ser. I 343 (2006).     

The “strange term” in the periodic homogenization for multivalued Leray–Lions operators in perforated domains

Using the periodic unfolding method of Cioranescu, Damlamian and Griso, we study the homogenization for equations of the form

$-{\rm div}\,\,d_\varepsilon=f,\,\,{\rm with}\,\,\left(\nabla u_{\varepsilon , \delta }(x),d_{\varepsilon , \delta }(x)\right) \in A_\varepsilon(x)$

in a perforated domain with holes of size \({\varepsilon \delta }\) periodically distributed in the domain, where \({A_\varepsilon }\) is a function whose values are maximal monotone graphs (on R ^N ). Two different unfolding operators are involved in such a geometric situation. Under appropriate growth and coercivity assumptions, if the corresponding two sequences of unfolded maximal monotone graphs converge in the graph sense to the maximal monotone graphs A(x, y) and A ₀(x, z) for almost every \({(x,y,z)\in \Omega \times Y \times {\rm {\bf R}}^N}\), as \({\varepsilon \to 0}\), then every cluster point (u ₀, d ₀) of the sequence \({(u_{\varepsilon , \delta }, d_{\varepsilon , \delta } )}\) for the weak topology in the naturally associated Sobolev space is a solution of the homogenized problem which is expressed in terms of u ₀ alone. This result applies to the case where \({A_{\varepsilon}(x)}\) is of the form \({B(x/\varepsilon)}\) where B(y) is periodic and continuous at y = 0, and, in particular, to the oscillating p-Laplacian.

     

A convergence result for the periodic unfolding method related to fast diffusion on manifolds

Based on the periodic unfolding method in periodic homogenization, we deduce a convergence result for gradients of functions defined on connected, smooth, and periodic manifolds. Under the assumption of certain a-priori estimates of the gradient, which are typical for fast diffusion, the sum of a term involving a gradient with respect to the slow variable and one with respect to the fast variable is obtained in the homogenization limit. In addition, we show in a brief example how to apply this result and find for a reaction–diffusion equation defined on a periodic manifold that the homogenized equation contains a term describing macroscopic diffusion.     

Homogenization of integrals with pointwise gradient constraints via the periodic unfolding method

Abstract The pointwise gradient constrained homogenization process, for Neumann and Dirichlet type problems, is analyzed by means of the periodic unfolding method recently introduced in [21]. Classically, the proof of the homogenization formula in presence of pointwise gradient constraints relies on elaborated measure theoretic arguments. The one proposed here is elementary: it is based on weak convergence arguments in L^p spaces, coupled with suitable regularization techniques.

Bingham flow in porous media with obstacles of different size

By using the unfolding operators for periodic homogenization, we give a general compactness result for a class of functions defined on bounded domains presenting perforations of two different size. Then we apply this result to the homogenization of the flow of a Bingham fluid in a porous medium with solid obstacles of different size. Next, we give the interpretation of the limit problem in terms of a nonlinear Darcy law. Copyright © 2017 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Periodic homogenization for convex functionals using Mosco convergence

We study the relationship between the Mosco convergence of a sequence of convex proper lower semicontinuous functionals, defined on a reflexive Banach space, and the convergence of their subdifferentiels as maximal monotone graphs. We then apply these results together with the unfolding method (see Cioranescu et al. in C R Math Acad Sci Paris 355:99–104, 2002) to study the homogenization of equations of the form \({-\textrm{ div }d_\varepsilon=f }\), with \({(\nabla u_\varepsilon(x),d_\varepsilon(x)) \in \partial \varphi_\varepsilon(x)}\) where \({\varphi_\varepsilon (x,.)}\) is a Carathéodory convex function with suitable growth and coercivity conditions.     

The periodic unfolding method for the heat equation in perforated domains

We study the heat equation with non-periodic coefficients in periodically perforated domains with a homogeneous Neumann condition on the holes. Using the time-dependent unfolding method, we obtain some homogenization and corrector results which generalize those by Donato and Nabil(2001).

Periodic Homogenization for Inner Boundary Conditions with Equi-valued Surfaces: the Unfolding Approach

Making use of the periodic unfolding method, the authors give an elementary proof for the periodic homogenization of the elastic torsion problem of an infinite — dimensional rod with a multiply-connected cross section as well as for the general electroconductivity problem in the presence of many perfect conductors (arising in resistivity well-logging). Both problems fall into the general setting of equi-valued surfaces with corresponding assigned total fluxes. The unfolding method also gives a general corrector result for these problems.
