Explicit Schemes for Estimating Elastic Properties of Multiphase Composites
نویسنده
چکیده
Explicit schemes of Mori-Tanaka and Kuster-Tokss oz for estimating elastic properties of multiphase composites are compared and contrasted. Both methods are known to have a limited range of validity. Reexamination of the theories and comparisons to experiment lead to the conclusion that these explicit schemes should not be used to estimate properties of systems in which the host material occupies less than 50% of the total volume. A uniied approach to derivation of these explicit methods, as well as some implicit methods, is also presented.

Elastic property of multiphase composites with random microstructures
We propose a computational method with no ad hoc empirical parameters to determine the elastic properties of multiphase composites of complex geometries by numerically solving the stress–strain relationships in heterogeneous materials. First the randommicrostructure of the multiphase composites is reproduced in our model by the random generation-growth method. Then a high-efficiency lattice Bol...
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...

متن کاملHashin-Shtrikman bounds for multiphase composites and their attainability
This paper addresses the attainability of the Hashin-Shtrikman bounds for multiphase composites, including those of conductive materials and elastic materials. It presents a new derivation of these bounds that yield a necessary and sufficient condition for optimal microstructures. A key idea is a simple characterization of the gradient Young measures associated with optimal microstructures.
