6 Fitting of the relaxed micromorphic parameters with curvature (with Curl P)
\
\
6.1 Asymptotes
Because the cut-offs are independent of the coefficients with higher order of k, they do not change with the addition of Curl P. Instead, the expressions of the asymptotes hugely differ compared to the expression without Curl P discussed before. We only include the terms with the highest order of k available and compute
\
\
Surprisingly, the asymptotes with Curl P are significantly simpler because we must only solve a second-order polynomial instead of a third-order polynomial needed for the cut-offs and the asymptotes without Curl P. We now only have four distinct horizontal asymptotes (two shear and two pressure) in contrast to six before, which means that we must allow that the two curves (one shear and one pressure) will tend to infinity for high values of k, and our choice falls on the two highest optic curves. The same reasoning about the use of the asymptote in Section 5.1 is applied here besides for the two highest optic curves that do not have a horizontal asymptote.
6.2 Fitting
\
Although the expressions of the asymptotes are different from the ones without the Curl P, we still have the same split between the parameters, resulting in 4 independent parameters for every group of asymptotes, cf. Table 7.
\
\
\
We list the numerical values of all parameters used for the fitting of the micromorphic model in Table 8.
\
\
6.3 Discussion
\
\
\
\
\
\
\
\
\
Most other values remain at the same magnitude but are slightly higher, cf, Table 9. In future works, we will consider an enhanced relaxed micromorphic model to better describe these effects.
