Abstract

We address the homogenization of a linear viscoelastic and hierarchical composite material in a one-dimensional (1D) framework via a three-scale asymptotic homogenization method. We consider a family of heterogeneous problems with periodic, rapidly-oscillating and piece-wise coefficients that model a structure with two hierarchical levels of organization. Here, we assume continuity contact conditions at the interfaces among the constituents and set a straightforward geometrical configuration in order to gain a better insight of the multiscale problem. The main goal is to provide a general overview of the procedure and validate the approach by means of a comparison between the solution of the original heterogeneous problem, the homogenized problem and the formal asymptotic solution. In addition, we show that the three scale approach presents a clear improvement over the recursive two-scale one, and we illustrate the convergence of the solutions towards the solution of the homogenized problem when both asymptotic parameters are approaching to zero.
