Effective medium theory for elastic composites
نویسنده
چکیده
The theoretical foundation of a variant on effective medium theories for elastic constants of composites is presented and discussed. The connection between this approach and the methods of Zeller and Dederichs, Korringa, and Gubernatis and Krumhansl is elucidated. A review of the known relationships between the various effective medium theories and rigorous bounding methods for elastic constants is also provided.

Effective Medium Theory for the Elastic Properties of Composites and Acoustics Applications
We derive an effective medium theory that predicts the bulk and shear moduli of composite materials consisting of a matrix material with soft or hard ellipsoidal inclusions. The theory predicts that diskshaped inclusions are most effective for softening or hardening a composite material. The theory is applied to the design of materials with highly absorptive acoustical properties. DTIC TAB0 UJn...

Third order shear deformation theory of cylindrical shells is employed to investigate the vibration characteristics of non-homogeneous cylindrical shells surrounded by an elastic medium. The kinematic relations are obtained using the strain-displacement relations of Donnell shell theory. The shell properties are considered to be dependent on both position and thermal environment. A suitable fun...
