Critical radius, size effects and inverse problems for composites with imperfect interface
نویسندگان
چکیده
We provide new bounds on the interfacial barrier conductivity for isotropic particulate composites based on measured values of effective properties, known values of component volume fractions, and the formation factor for the matrix phase. These bounds are found to be sharp. Our tool is a new set of variational principles and bounds on the effective properties of composites with imperfect interface obtained by us @see R. Lipton and B. Vernescu, Proc. R. Soc. London Ser. A 452, 329 ~1996!#. We apply the bounds to solve inverse problems. For isotropic polydisperse suspensions of spheres we are able to characterize the size distribution of the spherical inclusions based on measured values of the effective conductivity. © 1996 American Institute of Physics. @S0021-8979~96!05212-7#

Influence of the Imperfect Interface on Love-Type Mechanical Wave in a FGPM Layer
In this study, we consider the propagation of the Love-type wave in piezoelectric gradient covering layer on an elastic half-space having an imperfect interface between them. Dispersion relation has been obtained in the form of determinant for both electrically open and short cases. The effects of different material gradient coefficients of functionally graded piezoelectric material (FGPM) and ...

Al-SiC composites are among the most demanding metal matrix composites due to their excellent strength, good ductility, good corrosion resistance, low coefficient of thermal expansion and reasonable price. Manufacturing of cast metal matrix composites usually involves some problems such as inhomogeneous distribution of the particles due to poor wetability of ceramics to molten alloys, porosity ...

We provide a reciprocal relation linking the effective conductivity of a composite with highly conducting phase interfaces to that of a composite with the same phase geometry but with an electrical contact resistance at phase interfaces. A field relationship linking the electric field inside a composite with highly conducting phase interfaces to the current in a composite with contact resistanc...
متن کاملFracture Mechanics of Composites with Residual Stresses, Imperfect Interfaces, and Traction-loaded Cracks
By partitioning the total stresses in a damaged composite into either mechanical and residual stresses or into initial and perturbation stresses, it was possible to derive two exact results for the energy release rate due to crack growth. These general results automatically include the effects of residual stresses, tractionloaded cracks, and imperfect interfaces. These effects are normally not ...
