FFT-based computation of homogenized interface parameters

Abstract

The homogenization of microstructured interfaces requires solving specific problems posed on semi-infinite bands. To tackle these problems with existing FFT-based algorithms, a reformulation of these band problems into fully periodic cell problems, posed on bounded domains, is established. This is performed thanks to a Dirichlet-to-Neumann operator and a decomposition of the solution involving a boundary corrector, in a Fourier framework. A fixed-point algorithm and an example choice of corrector are proposed. Comparisons with other computational methods support this proposition.
