Effective elastic moduli of inhomogeneous solids by embedded cell model

Abstract: An embedded cell model is presented to obtain the effective elastic moduli for three-dimefl~sional two-phase composites which is an exact analytic formula without any simplified approximation and can be expressed in an explicit form. For the different cells such as spherical inclusions and cracks surrounded by sphere and oblate ellipsoidal matrix, the effective elastic moduli are evaluated and the results are compared with those from various micromechanics models. These results show that the present model is d… Show more

“…With this estimate, it is easy to account for the diversity of inclusion shapes and space distribution. In many cases it is identical to classical estimates: the two-phase estimate [65] when we only have one type of ellipsoidal inclusion, Mori-Tanaka [5] when the inclusions are spherical. We have shown its effeciency thanks to 2d finite element computations on randomly generated microstructures, in cases where the interpenetration of cracks was forbidden [13].…”

“…Two-phase estimate (2ph) The two phase estimate, when there is only one heterogeneity family, is built by embedding the heterogeneity ω of stiffness tensor C i in an infinite elastic medium of same stiffness tensor as the matrix of the composite C 0 [8]. Then an ellipsoid D embedding the inclusion ω is defined to represent the spatial distribution of the inclusion rather than its shape, and so that the volume fraction of the inclusions in the real composite f is equal to ω/D.…”

“…However, it has a closed-form solution in only few cases: isotropically distributed spherical inclusions (this solution was given by Christensen and Lo [6]) and some cases of cracked medium [7]. For other cases, it is necessary to use approximations (such as the one proposed by Hori and Nemat-Nasser in the same article [5]), or to simplify the problem (as is done in the two-phase model, where the matrix material also occupies the infinite medium embedding the matrix ellipsoid [8]). It is also possible to evaluate the general self-consistent solution numerically, as is well known and will be illustrated in this article.…”
