Numerical methods for homogenization : applications to random media / Techniques numériques d'homogénéisation : application aux milieux aléatoires

Costaouec, Ronan 23 November 2011 (has links)
Le travail de cette thèse a porté sur le développement de techniques numériques pour l'homogénéisation de matériaux présentant à une petite échelle des hétérogénéités aléatoires. Sous certaines hypothèses, la théorie mathématique de l'homogénéisation stochastique permet d'expliciter les propriétés effectives de tels matériaux. Néanmoins, en pratique, la détermination de ces propriétés demeure difficile. En effet, celle-ci requiert la résolution d'équations aux dérivées partielles stochastiques posées sur l'espace tout entier. Dans cette thèse, cette difficulté est abordée de deux manières différentes. Les méthodes classiques d'approximation conduisent à approcher les propriétés effectives par des quantités aléatoires. Réduire la variance de ces quantités est l'objectif des travaux de la Partie I. On montre ainsi comment adapter au cadre de l'homogénéisation stochastique une technique de réduction de variance déjà éprouvée dans d'autres domaines. Les travaux de la Partie II s'intéressent à des cas pour lesquels le matériau d'intérêt est considéré comme une petite perturbation aléatoire d'un matériau de référence. On montre alors numériquement et théoriquement que cette simplification de la modélisation permet effectivement une réduction très importante du coût calcul / In this thesis we investigate numerical methods for the homogenization of materials the structures of which, at fine scales, are characterized by random heterogenities. Under appropriate hypotheses, the effective properties of such materials are given by closed formulas. However, in practice the computation of these properties is a difficult task because it involves solving partial differential equations with stochastic coefficients that are additionally posed on the whole space. In this work, we address this difficulty in two different ways. The standard discretization techniques lead to random approximate effective properties. In Part I, we aim at reducing their variance, using a well-known variance reduction technique that has already been used successfully in other domains. The works of Part II focus on the case when the material can be seen as a small random perturbation of a periodic material. We then show both numerically and theoretically that, in this case, computing the effective properties is much less costly than in the general case
