Effective Maxwell's equations in general periodic microstructures
Ben Schweizer, Maik Urban
We study the time harmonic Maxwell equations in a meta-material consisting of perfect conductors and void space. The meta-material is assumed to be periodic with period ; we…
Stochastic homogenization of plasticity equations
M. Heida, B. Schweizer
In the context of infinitesimal strain plasticity with hardening, we derive a stochastic homogenization result. We assume that the coefficients of the equation are random functions…
Effective acoustic properties of a meta-material consisting of small Helmholtz resonators
Agnes Lamacz, Ben Schweizer
We investigate the acoustic properties of meta-materials that are inspired by sound-absorbing structures. We show that it is possible to construct meta-materials with frequency-dep…
A variational perspective on cloaking by anomalous localized resonance
Robert V. Kohn, Jianfeng Lu, Ben Schweizer +1
A body of literature has developed concerning "cloaking by anomalous localized resonance". The mathematical heart of the matter involves the behavior of a divergence-form elliptic…
