The paper consider the numerical calculation of homogenized (or effective)
thermoelastic characteristics of a perforated plate having a periodic struc
ture. This plate maintains the tube bundle of a hear exchanger. A simplifie
d formulation of the cellular problems is proposed. Description of the nume
rical process based on finite element method, for the cellular problems and
for the homogenized characteristics. is given. Some results and parametric
studies are presented. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science S.A. All rights reserved.
