Exact Expression for the Effective Elastic Tensor of Disordered Composites
نویسنده
چکیده
We derive new, exact series expansions for the effective elastic tensor of anisotropic, d-dimensional, two-phase disordered composites whose nth-order tensor coefficients are integrals involving n-point correlation functions that characterize the structure. These series expansions, valid for any structure, perturb about certain optimal dispersions. Third-order truncation of the expansions results in formulas for the elastic moduli of isotropic dispersions that are in very good agreement with benchmark data, always lie within rigorous bounds, and are superior to popular self-consistent approximations.

Exa t Relations for Composites: Towards a Complete Solution
Typically, the electrical and elastic properties of composite materials are strongly microstructure dependent. So it comes as a nice surprise to come across exact formulae for ( or linking) effective tensor elements that are universally valid no matter what the microstructure. Here we present a systematic theory of exact relations embracing the known exact relations and establishing new ones. T...
متن کاملComparison of Two Computational Microstructure Models for Predicting Effective Transverse Elastic Properties of Unidirectional Fiber Reinforced Composites
Characterization of properties of composites has attracted a great deal of attention towards exploring their applications in engineering. The purpose of this work is to study the difference of two computational microstructure models which are widely used for determining effective transverse elastic properties of unidirectional fiber reinforced composites. The first model based on the classic me...
متن کاملGeneral Integral Representation Formula for the Effective Elastic Tensor of Two-phase Composites
In this paper, we derive the general integral representation formulas (IRFs) for the strain field and for the effective elasticity tensor of two-component elastic composites. The information about the contrast is represented by a rank-four tensor in the integrand while the information about the microgeometry is included in the Stieltjes measure of the IRF. The relation between the IRFs presente...
متن کاملEffective Stiffness Tensor of Composite Media-i. Exact Series Expansions
The problem of determining exact expressions for the effective stiffness tensor macroscopically anisotropic, two-phase composite media of arbitrary microstructure in arbitrary space dimension d is considered. We depart from previous treatments by introducing an integral equation for the “cavity” strain field. This leads to new, exact series expansions for the effective stiffness tensor of macro...
متن کاملA micromechanical model for interpenetrating multiphase composites
The dependence relation between the macroscopic effective property and the microstructure of interpenetrating multiphase composites is investigated in this paper. The effective elastic moduli of such composites cannot be calculated from conventional micromechanics methods based on Eshelby s tensor because an interpenetrating phase cannot be extracted as dispersed inclusions. Employing the conce...
