A dispersive effective medium for wave propagation in periodic composites

TL;DR: In this article, the problem of wave propagation through a periodic medium is considered and an effective medium model of the propagation phenomena is obtained using the Bloch expansion, which is shown to be dispersive.

Thirty years of the finite volume method for solid mechanics.

TL;DR: An overview, historical perspective, comparison and critical analysis of the different approaches, including their relative strengths, weaknesses, similarities and dissimilarities, where a close comparison with the de facto standard for computational solid mechanics, the finite element method is given.

Anti-plane shear waves in periodic elastic composites: band structure and anomalous wave refraction

TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that negative energy refraction can be accompanied by positive phase-velocity refraction and positive energy re-correlation can occur over a broad range of frequencies, and that negative refraction does not necessarily require antiparallel group and phasevelocity vectors.

Generalized effective stiffness theory for the modeling of fiber-reinforced composites

TL;DR: In this paper, effective stiffness theory of the Nth order is derived for the modeling of the three-dimensional time-dependent motion of a fiber-reinforced composite, where fibers are assumed to be of a rectangular cross section and are imbedded in the matrix in the form of a doubly periodic array.
