Homogenization is an essential step in several industrial processes, such as pharmaceuticals, food, and cosmetics. Two common homogenization methods are high-pressure homogenization (HPH) and ...

Composite materials are made by combining two or more distinct materials, such as a fiber and a matrix, to exploit the best qualities of each. However, predicting the performance of a composite ...

Estimating composite material properties can be computationally expensive and time-consuming. Researchers from Pusan National University (Busan, South Korea) have proposed a reduced basis ...

Computational homogenization has emerged as an indispensable tool for bridging the gap between the microscale heterogeneity of composite materials and their macroscopic behaviour. By employing ...

Homogenization theory provides a rigorous framework for bridging the gap between microscale heterogeneities and macroscale behaviour in systems such as porous media and composite materials. By ...

We present a homogenization method to find the effective behavior of a periodically stratified slab which accounts for the finite size of the slab. The effective behavior is that of a homogeneous ...
