A MULTISCALE CORRECTION METHOD FOR LOCAL SINGULAR PERTURBATIONS OF THE BOUNDARY

International audienceIn this work, we consider singular perturbations of the boundary of a smooth domain. We describe the asymptotic behavior of the solution uε of a second order elliptic equation posed in the perturbed domain with respect to the size parameter ε of the deformation. We are also interested in the variations of the energy functional. We propose a numerical method for the approximation of uε based on a multiscale superposition of the unperturbed solution u0 and a profile defined in a model domain. We conclude with numerical results

Shape optimization for composite materials and scaffolds

This article combines shape optimization and homogenization techniques by looking for the optimal design of the microstructure in composite materials and of scaffolds. The development of materials with specific properties is of huge practical interest, for example, for medical applications or for the development of light weight structures in aeronautics. In particular, the optimal design of microstructures leads to fundamental questions for porous media: what is the sensitivity of homogenized coefficients with respect to the shape of the microstructure? We compute Hadamard's shape gradient for the problem of realizing a prescribed effective tensor and demonstrate the applicability and feasibility of our approach by numerical experiments
