Homogenization of Evolution Problems in a Fiber Reinforced Structure

Michel Bellieud

We study the homogenization of parabolic or hyperbolic equations like

\rho_\epsilon(x){\partial^n u_\epsilon \over \partial t^n}- div(a_\epsilon(x) \nabla u_\epsilon) =f ρ ϵ ( x ) ∂ n u ϵ ∂ t n − d i v ( a ϵ ( x ) ∇ u ϵ ) = f
on
\Omega\times (0, T) Ω × ( 0 , T )
plus boundary conditions,
n \in \{1,2\} n ∈ { 1 , 2 }
, where the coefficients
a_\epsilon a ϵ
and
\rho_\epsilon ρ ϵ
takes values of very different order on an
\epsilon ϵ
-periodic subset
T_\epsilon \subset \Omega T ϵ ⊂ Ω
(fibered structure) and elsewhere. We find a non local effective equation deduced from a homogenized system of several equations.
