AU - With, G. de TI - Solutions for Periodically Distributed Materials with Localised Imperfections T2 - The International Conference on Computational \& Experimental Engineering and Sciences PY - 2008 VL - 6 IS - 1 SN - 1933-2815 AB - The behaviour of composite materials with periodically distributed constituents is considered. Mathematically, this can be described by a boundary value problem with highly oscillatory coefficient functions. An algorithm is proposed to handle the case when the underlying periodicity is locally disturbed. This procedure is constructed using fundamental concepts from homogenisation theory and domain decomposition techniques. Applications to linearly elastic materials are considered.
