Abstract

We revisit the homogenization process for a heterogeneous small strain gradient plasticity model considered in [5]. We derive a precise homogenized behavior, independently of any kind of periodicity assumption and demonstrate that it reduces to a model studied in [8] when periodicity is re-introduced.

Keywords: Homogenization, H-convergence., gradient plasticity.
