Towards improved Hashin–Shtrikman bounds on the effective moduli of random composites

Geometrical-parameter Bounds on the Effective Moduli of Composites

We study bounds on the effective conductivity and elastic moduli of two-phase isotropic composites that depend on geometrical parameters that take into account up to three-point statistical information concerning the composite microstructure. We summarize existing bounds, apply a special fractional linear transformation to simplify their functional forms, and describe two approaches to improve ...

Improved Bounds on the Effective Elastic Moduli of Random Arrays of Cylinders

Improved rigorous bounds on the effective elastic moduli of a transversely isotropic fiber-reinforced material composed of aligned, infinitely long, equisized, circular cylinders distributed throughout a matrix are evaluated for cylinder volume fractions up to 70 percent. The bounds are generally shown to provide significant improvement over the Hill-Hashin bounds which incorporate only volume-...

Improved Rigorous Bounds on the Effective Elastic Moduli of a Composite Material

A NEW METHOD for deriving rigorous bounds on the effective elastic constants of a composite material is presented and used to derive a number of known as well as some new bounds. The new approach is based on a presentation of those constants as a sum of simple poles. The locations and strengths of the poles are treated as variational parameters, while different kinds of available information ar...

investigation of effective parameters on the rigidity of light composite diaphragms (psscb) by fem

در این رساله با معرفی سقف های psscb متشکل از ترکیب ورق های فولادی ذوزنقه ای و تخته های سیمانی الیافی به عنوان سقف های پیش ساخته (سازگار با سیستم سازه ای قاب های فولادی سبک) به بررسی پارامترهای موثر بر صلبیت سقف، پرداخته می شود. در تحقیق حاضر ابتدا به مدل سازی دو نمونه سقف آزمایش شده، به روش اجزاء محدود با استفاده از نرم افزار تحلیلی abaqus ver 6.10 پرداخته شده است. نمونه های ساخته شده تحت اعما...
