On Micro-Macro Transition in Non-Linear Mechanics
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper is devoted to the description of the general relationships between microscopic and macroscopic mechanical quantities in non-linear mechanics. From a thermodynamical viewpoint, it is only necessary to know the two macroscopic potentials (macroscopic free energy and macroscopic potential of dissipation) to describe the state of the body and its quasistatic evolution. These global potentials are the averages of the local ones. We point out some particular cases of non-linearities, especially the case of damaged materials.

Micro-macro Methods for the Multiscale Simulation of Viscoelastic Flow Using Molecular Models of Kinetic Theory
We survey the field of micro-macro numerical techniques for predicting complex flows of viscoelastic fluids. The micro-macro approach couples the mesoscopic scale of kinetic theory to the macroscopic scale of continuum mechanics. A numerical solution is sought to the coupled non-linear problem involving the conservation laws and a microstructural model of kinetic theory. Although micro-macro te...
متن کاملBayesian Estimation of Non-Stationary Markov Models Combining Micro and Macro Data
We develop a Bayesian framework for estimating non-stationary Markov models in situations where macro population data is available only on the proportion of individuals residing in each state, but micro-level sample data is available on observed transitions between states. Posterior distributions on nonstationary transition probabilities are derived from a micro-based prior and a macro-based li...
متن کاملStatistical mechanics of two-dimensional turbulence
A statistical mechanical description is proposed for two-dimensional inviscid fluid turbulence. Using this description, we make predictions for turbulent flow in a rapidly rotating laboratory annulus. Measurements on this system reveal coherent vortices in a mean zonal flow. The flow is anisotropic and inhomogeneous but has low dissipation and forcing. In statistical mechanics two crucial requi...
متن کاملMicro-Macro Links for Self-Organizing Collective Systems: From Local State Transition Rules to Global Transition Probabilities and Back
The design of self-organizing, collective systems is challenging. The major challenge is understanding the complex, non-linear relation between the microscopic level (individual agent) and the macroscopic level (collective behavior). An option to get an understanding of these systems is to derive micro-macro links that define a direct (mathematical) connection between the two levels. Models can...
متن کاملA Macro Economy as an Ecology of Plans
Standard macro theories reflect a choice-theoretic orientation wherein aggregate variables are treated as acting directly on one another. Macro phenomena are thus reduced to the same order of simplicity as micro phenomena; macro variables differ from micro variables only by their larger size. In contrast, this paper treats the relationship between micro and macro as non-scalable. Macro phenomen...
