Description
Book SynopsisIs it possible to apply a network model to composites with conical inclusions?
How does the energy pass through contrast composites?
Devoted to the analysis of transport problems for systems of densely packed, high-contrast composite materials, Capacity and Transport in Contrast Composite Structures: Asymptotic Analysis and Applications answers questions such as these and presents new and modified asymptotic methods for real-world applications in composite materials development.
A mathematical discussion of phenomena related to natural sciences and engineering, this book covers historical developments and new progress in mathematical calculations, computer techniques, finite element computer programs, and presentation of results of numerical computations.
The transport problemwhich is described with scalar linear elliptic equ
Trade Review
... deals with interesting questions of strongly heterogeneous media, such as the analysis of capacities and transport properties. ... The book is intended to be self-contained and it is of interest to researchers in the fields of "homogenization theory" and "asymptotic analysis" in the areas of applied mathematics, physics and engineering sciences. More specifically, it may be of interest to students and researchers in mathematical models related to diffusion, electricity, magnetism, mechanics, new materials and design methods. It is written in terms of electrostatics, and it pays special attention to the so-called (by the authors) "Tamm screening effect" or "Tamm shielding effect" and the problems of the "effective tunability" and "effective loss" of composite materials. These effects/terms (and some others) arising in physics and engineering are in the reviewer’s opinion rarely considered in the literature of applied mathematics, and the authors provide a mathematical interpretation in this book .... Many figures in the book are important for the understanding of the corresponding problems and the results obtained.
