Effective Medium Approximation for Conductivity of Unidirectional Coated-Fiber Composites

Effective medium approximation for conductivity of coated-inclusion composites with anisotropic coating

“…. are identical than the ones presented in works of Tran et al [14], and no need to rewrite in this text. The improvement of numerical simulation in this paper come from the anisotropic properties of the coating shell.…”

“…It necessary to note that c eqβ can be also calculated by (13). Then the effective conductivity of the multicomponent matrix-based composite can be determined by applying the simple polarization approximation [14]…”

“…In Figs. 5 and 6, the Mori-Tanaka approximation that coincide with Hashin-Shtrikman bounds and the polarization approximation (14), the dilute approximation for the equivalent homogeneous-inclusion composite (2) are also compared.…”

“…7 with c M = 100, c 1 = 1. In these situations, the Mori-Tanaka approximation (14) appears good regarding its simplicity and generality.…”

“…Simple analytical approaches are developed recently by us to estimate macroscopic properties of coated-inclusion composites [10][11][12][13][14]. However, these studies only mentioned the case of isotropic coating.…”
