On Variational Micro-Macro Models and their Application to Polycrystals
Mayeul Arminjon, Didier Imbault
Some variational micro-macro models are briefly reviewed: it is shown how, starting from the Taylor model and passing through the relaxed Taylor model, a consistent intermediate be…

Maximum entropy principle and texture formation
Mayeul Arminjon, Didier Imbault
The macro-to-micro transition in a heterogeneous material is envisaged as the selection of a probability distribution by the Principle of Maximum Entropy (MAXENT). The material is…

Physical Meaning and Experimental Check of a Variational Principle for Macro-to-Micro Transition
Mayeul Arminjon, Didier Imbault
It is argued that, for strongly non-linear behaviors, a fully deterministic position can hardly be maintained in the micro-macro transitions. This is due to the lack of information…
