Numerical Studies of the Correlation between Inclusion Shape and Effective Elastic Properties of the Particle Reinforced Composites

Article Preview

Abstract:

In present paper the effect of inclusions with irregular shapes on the elastic material properties of two-phase composites is studied. The irregular shapes of the real inclusions were approximated using smooth three-dimensional structures. For this needs the images of the microscopic particles were numerically approximated through smooth structures using methods of the computer algebra and were used for the following FE studies. The reference elements with typical inclusions with irregular shapes were determined and used for calculation of the effective material properties.
