In this contribution, we show that the damped Eyre--Milton iteration is linearly convergent for a class of nonlinear composites with a regular set of pores, provided the damping factor is chosen between zero and unity. First, we show that an abstract fixed-point method with non-expansive fixed-point operator and non-trivial damping converges linearly, provided the associated residual mapping satisfies a monotonicity condition on a closed subspace. Then, we transfer this result to the framework of polarization schemes and conclude the linear convergence of the damped Eyre--Milton scheme for porous materials. We present general arguments which apply to a class of nonlinear composites and mixed stress-strain loadings, as well. We show that the best contraction estimate is reached for a damping factor of 1 / 2 , that is, for the polarization scheme of Michel--Moulinec--Suquet, and derive the corresponding optimal reference material. Our results generalize the recent work of Sab and co-workers who showed that an adaptively damped Eyre--Milton scheme leads to linear convergence for a class of linear composites with pores. Finally, we report on computational experiments which support our findings.}, note = {Funding by the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG, German Research Foundation) 507778349 is gratefully acknowledged by E.D.
