Homogenization results for a class of parabolic problems with a non-local interface condition via time-periodic unfolding
We study the thermal properties of a composite material in which a periodic array of finely mixed perfect thermal conductors is inserted.
The suitable model describing the behaviour of such physical materials leads to the so-called equivalued surface boundary value problem.
To analyze the overall conductivity of the composite medium (when the size of the inclusions tends to zero),
we make use of the homogenization theory, employing the unfolding technique.
