Abstract:This paper presents an overview of mathematical models that allow us to determine the effective elastic characteristics of various types of composite materials. The most well-known models are considered: virial decomposition, self-matching method, correlation approximation, and singular approximation. Models with a layered structure and matrix systems with a regular structure are considered.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
