A fundamental approach is to first construct micro-scale models, and then deduce the macro-scale laws and the constitutive relations by properly averaging over the micro-scale. The perturbation method of multiple scales can be used to derive averaged equations for a much larger scale from considerations of the small scales. In the mechanics of multiscale media, the analytical scheme of upscaling is known as the Theory of Homogenizati 606 $aHomogenization (Differential equations) 606 $aMathematical physics 615 0$aHomogenization (Differential equations) 615 0$aMathematical physics. 676 $a515.3/53 700 $aMei$b Chiang C$030497 701 $aVernescu$b Bogdan$01515824 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910788569203321 996 $aHomogenization methods for multiscale mechanics$93751837 997 $aUNINA LEADER 03911oam 2200637I 450 001 9910786241603321 005 20230803025737.0 010 $a0-429-16585-4 010 $a1-4398-6258-3 024 7 $a10.1201/b14166 035 $a(CKB)2670000000341598 035 $a(EBL)1153191 035 $a(OCoLC)831118576 035 $a(SSID)ssj0000835126 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)11462241 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000835126 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)10989673 035 $a(PQKB)11457115 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC1153191 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL1153191 035 $a(CaPaEBR)ebr10674487 035 $a(CaONFJC)MIL502263 035 $a(EXLCZ)992670000000341598 100 $a20180331d2013 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aur|n|---||||| 181 $ctxt 182 $cc 183 $acr 200 00$aConnexin cell communication channels $eroles in the immune system and immunopathology /$fedited by Ernesto Oviedo-Orta, Brenda R.
