Abstract
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.
