Eshelby Equivalent Inclusion Method for Composites with Interface Effects

Abstract:

The Eshelby equivalent inclusion method is generalized to calculate the stress fields related to spherical inhomogeneities with two interface conditions depicted by the interface stress model and the linear-spring model. It is found that the method gives the exact results for the hydrostatic loading and very accurate results for a deviatoric loading. The method can be used to predict the effective properties of composites with the interface effects.
