Effective Medium Theory for the Elastic Properties of Composites and Acoustics Applications
نویسنده
چکیده
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 UJnam o e d 0E st Ificat lon Dlstribut4,60/ Avallablllty Codes

متن کاملThird Order Formulation for Vibrating Non-Homogeneous Cylindrical Shells in Elastic Medium
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...
