PREDICTION OF THE ELASTIC MODULI OF COMPOSITES,

Abstract

The description of the elastic behavior of composite materials by mathematical expressions presently in the literature is restricted by the microstructural models upon which they were based. An extension was made to one of these expressions in which the shape of the included phase is considered as well as the moduli of the individual phases. The results allow a more general application of the theoretical expressions to composite materials in which the included phase is contained at low concentrations. (Author)
