Effective mass density of rigid sphere-reinforced elastic composites (Q6166432)

An analytical model to analyze 3D dynamic behaviors of stiff sphere-reinforced elastic random composites is developed. The proposed model is based on the concept that the deviation of the displacement field of embedded stiff spheres from the displacement field of the composite is responsible for novel metadynamic behavior of the composites. For the effective elastic moduli of rigid sphere-reinforced elastic random composites the authors use the previously proposed model \(\frac{\mu_e}{\mu} = 1+2.5 \delta+5 \delta^2\), where \(\delta\) denotes the volume fraction of the rigid spheres instead of the justified equation \(\frac{\mu_e}{\mu} = 1+ \frac 52\;\frac{\delta}{1-\delta} +O(\delta^{\frac{7}3})\).
