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 ...

Homogenization is the name given to any of the processes used to make a mixture of two mutually non-soluble liquids the same throughout. To achieve this, one of the liquids is altered to a state ...

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 ...

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 ...
