Abstract: We consider the scattering of elastic waves by highly oscillating anisotropic periodic media with bounded support. Applying the two-scale homogenization, we first obtain a constant coefficient second-order partial differential elliptic equation that describes the wave propagation of the effective or overall wave field. We study the rate of convergence by introducing complimentary boundary correctors. To account for dispersion induced by the periodic structure, we further pursue a higher-order homogenization. We then investigate the rate of convergence and formally obtain a fourth-order differential equation that demonstrates the anisotropic dispersion


In the paper under review, the authors study the scattering of eleastic waves by highly oscillating anisotropic periodic media with bounded support. The problem can be reformulated in studying the asymptotic behavior of the solution \(u_\epsilon\) of a transmission problem in the pair of domains consisting of a highly oscillating \(\epsilon\)-periodic medium and its complementary set. By means of two-scale homogenization, the authors first obtain the homogenized equation describing the wave propagation of the effective wave field. Then they investigate the higher order convergence rate by exploiting complimentary boundary correctors. A few numerical examples illustrating the higher order homogenization conclude the paper.
