Multiscale Finite Element Modeling of Nonlinear Magnetoquasistatic Problems Using Magnetic Induction Conforming Formulations
In this paper we develop magnetic induction conforming multiscale
formulations for magnetoquasistatic problems involving periodic materials. The
formulations are derived using the periodic homogenization theory and applied
within a heterogeneous multiscale approach. Therefore the fine-scale problem is
replaced by a macroscale problem defined on a coarse mesh that covers the
entire domain and many mesoscale problems defined on finely-meshed small areas
around some points of interest of the macroscale mesh (e.g. numerical
quadrature points). The exchange of information between these macro and meso
problems is thoroughly explained in this paper. For the sake of validation, we
consider a two-dimensional geometry of an idealized periodic soft magnetic
composite.Comment: Paper accepted for publication in the SIAM MMS journa
