Mathematical and numerical multi-scale modelling of multiphysics problems
Journal Title: Computer Assisted Methods in Engineering and Science - Year 2011, Vol 18, Issue 1
Abstract
In this paper we discuss two multi-scale procedures, both of mathematical nature as opposed to purely numerical ones. Examples are shown for the two cases. Attention is also devoted to thermodynamical aspects such as thermodynamic consistency and non-equilibrium thermodynamics. Advances for the first aspect are obtained by adopting the thermodynamically constrained averaging theory TCAT as shown in the case of a stress tensor for multi-component media. The second aspect has allowed to solve numerically, with relative ease, the case of non-isothermal leaching. The absence of proofs of thermodynamic consistency in case of asymptotic theory of homogenization with finite size of the unit cell is also pointed out.

Milestones of Direct Variational Calculus and its Analysis from the 17th Century until today and beyond- Mathematics meets Mechanics- with restriction to linear elasticity
This treatise collects and reflects the major developments of direct (discrete) variational calculus since the end of the 17th century until about 1990, with restriction to classical linear elastome- chanics, such as 1D-...
Analysis of fluid-structure interaction of a torus subjected to wind loads
In the paper the aerodynamic forces acting on a part of a water slide or other object with curved, tubular shape, depending on the section of a torus and value of the wind velocity, were obtained. This was done by means...
