On modelling of diffusion processes in periodically stratified elastic solids

The paper deals with problems of modelling of diffusion processes in microperiodic two-layered elastic solids. By using the homogenization procedure with microlocal parameters and relations of the linear-coupled theory of diffusion in elastic homogeneous bodies a homogenized model accounting certain local effects of stresses, diffusion fluxes is derived. As an example illustrating the application of the presented model the stationary problem of diffusion in a microperiodic stratified elastic layer is considered. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science Ltd.
