Abstract
In this paper, we analyze the embedding cell method, an algorithm which has been developed for the numerical homogenization of metal-ceramic composite materials. We show the convergence of the iteration scheme of this algorithm and the coincidence of the material properties predicted by the limit with the effective material properties provided by the analytical homogenization theory in two situations, namely for a one-dimensional linear elasticity model and a simple one-dimensional plasticity model.
