Flexible pipes are essential components in the subsea oil and gas industry, where they are used to convey fluids under conditions of extreme external pressure and (often) axial load, while retaining low bending stiffness. This is made possible by their complex internal structure…

In this thesis we study elliptic PDEs and PDE systems with e-pcriodic coeffi- cients, for small E, using the theory of two-scale homogenisation. We study a class of PDEs of partially degenerating type: PDEs with coefficients that are not uniformly elliptic with respect to E, and…
