On the homogenization of thin perforated walls of finite length (Q2814643)

The authors study the homogenization of a Poisson equation in a bounded domain made of a thin periodic layer of finite length, placed into a homogeneous domain. Given the finite length setting, the focus is on the estimation of the boundary layers arising in the corners at the extremities of the layer. The working method is a combination of the method of matched asymptotics combined with the (two-scale) homogenization method of periodic surfaces.
