Homogenization with quasistatic Tresca's friction law: qualitative and quantitative results
share
The problems of frictional contacts are the key to the investigation of mechanical performances of composite materials under varying service environments. The paper considers a linear elasticity system with strongly heterogeneous coefficients and quasistatic Tresca's friction law, and we study the homogenization theories under the frameworks of H-convergence and small ϵ-periodicity. The qualitative result is based on H-convergence, which shows the original oscillating solutions will converge weakly to the homogenized solution, while our quantitative result provides an estimate of asymptotic errors in the H^1 norm for the periodic homogenization. We also design several numerical experiments to validate the convergence rates in the quantitative analysis.
