Abstract

Methods of deriving equations describing effective models of layered periodic media are presented. Elastic and fluid media, as well as porous Biot media, may be among these media. First, effective models are derived by a rigorous method, and then some operations in the derivation are replaced by simpler ones providing correct results. As a consequence, a comparatively simple and justified method of deriving equations of an effective model is established. In particular, this method allows us to simplify to a degree and justify the derivation of an effective model for media containing Biot layers; this method also produces equations of an effective model of a porous layered medium intersected by fractures with slipping contacts. Bibliography: 15 titles.
