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

  • Chapter
Partial Differential Equations: Theory, Control and Approximation

Abstract

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 3-dimensional rod with a multiply-connected cross section as well as for the general electro-conductivity 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.
