We present a MATLAB code that evaluates the quasi-static elastic displacement strain and stress fields for the ellipsoidal inclusion and heterogeneity, the Eshelby solution. We first give an introduction to the underlaying inclusion problem. Then we describe the Eshelby solution for the elastic field inside and outside an ellipsoidal inclusion. We introduce the equivalency between the inclusion...

In the present study, the magnetic field effects of the elastic response of the polymeric piezoelectric cylinder reinforced with the carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are studied. The cylinder is subjected to an internal pressure, a constant electric potential difference at the inner and outer surfaces, and the thermal and magnetic fields. The Mori-Tanaka model is used for obtaining the equivalent materi...

The aim of this paper is to investigate the effective properties Fe–TiB2 composites obtained after hot or cold rolling. elastic moduli both and rolled are measured experimentally using several methods. Microstructure analyses based on SEM observations performed characterize distribution particles cracks, then used generate 3D representative microstructures RSA method. This allows numerical dete...

Equipped sandwich beams (ESBs) are one of the highly demanded structures by different industries due to their high stiffness weight ratio. In present study, vibrational behavior a novel ESB is evaluated, analytically. The whole composed three layers including functionally graded porous core (FGPC) and two same agglomerated carbon nanofiller reinforced composite (ACNFRC) face sheets. Both nanoco...

Fatigue cracking of viscoelastic asphalt composite materials is one the major distresses in pavements. To quantify weakening effect fatigue cracks on mechanical properties materials, this study takes an asphalt-filler system as example, and micromechanics models are proposed by combining Eshbely’s equivalent inclusion theory Mori-Tanaka approach. Dynamic shear rheometer (DSR) tests performed sy...

the buckling analysis of annular composite plates reinforced by carbon nanotubes subjected to compressive and torsional loads are studied in this paper. the mori-tanaka method is employed to calculate the effective elastic modulus of composites having aligned oriented straight cnts. the effects of cnts volume fractions, orientation angles, boundary conditions and geometric ratio of plate are di...

The effect of the clusterization on effective properties a composite material reinforced by MXene or graphene platelets is studied using finite element method with periodic representative volume (RVE). A hybrid 2D/3D mesh used to reduce computational complexity numerical model. Several realizations an RVE were generated increasing fractions inclusions, resulting in progressive platelets. Numeri...
