In this work, two-phase parallel fiber-reinforced periodic piezoelectric composites are considered wherein the constituents exhibit transverse isotropy and the cells have different configurations. Two types of imperfect contact at the interface of the composites are studied: a) imperfect contact via spring model, b) three phase model. Simple closed-form formulae are obtained for the effective properties of the composites with both types of contact and different parallelogram cells by means of the asymptotic homogenization method (AHM). Some numerical examples and comparisons with other theoretical results illustrate that the model is efficient for the analysis of composites with presence of parallelogram cells and imperfect contacts.

The elastic properties of a spherical heterogeneous structure with isotropic periodic components is analyzed and a methodology is developed using the two-scale asymptotic homogenization method (AHM) and spherical assemblage model (SAM). The effective coefficients are obtained via AHM for two different composites: (a) composite with perfect contact between two layers distributed periodically along the radial axis; and (b) considering a thin elastic interphase between the layers (intermediate layer) distributed periodically along the radial axis under perfect contact. As a result, the derived overall properties via AHM for homogeneous spherical structure have transversely isotropic behavior. Consequently, the homogenized problem is solved. Using SAM, the analytical exact solutions for appropriate boundary value problems are provided for different number of layers for the cases (a) and (b) in the spherical composite. The numerical results for the displacements, radial and circumferential stresses for both methods are compared considering a spherical composite material loaded by an inside pressure with the two cases of contact conditions between the layers (a) and (b).

As a new type of acoustic metamaterial, the pentamode material has extensive application prospect in controlling acoustic wave propagation because of its fluid properties. Firstly, a kind of pentamode material unit cell is designed, which is a two-dimensional honeycomb truss structure. Then, the asymptotic homogenization method is used to calculate static parameters of the unit cell, and also the influence of the geometric parameters and material composition of the unit cell on its mechanical properties is studied. Besides, based on transformation acoustics and the design method of the cylindrical cloak proposed by Norris, an acoustic cloak with isotropic density and gradient elastic modulus is constructed by periodically assembling the unit cell to guide the wave to bypass obstacles. Finally, the full displacement field analysis is carried out to prove the stealth effect of the acoustic cloak.
