Homogenisation of a chemical degradation mechanism inducing an evolving microstructure
Malte A. Peter · Comptes Rendus Mécanique · 2007
We consider a reaction–diffusion problem in a porous medium, where the reaction causes a local increase or decrease of volume of the solid matrix. For the homogenisation of the resulting system of equations, we employ the method of homogenisation in domains with evolving microstructure. The functions describing the evolution of the microstructure are related to the reaction–diffusion process.
