A CRITICAL REVIEW ON THE PREDICTION OF ELASTIC PROPERTIES OF BICONTINUOUS MATERIALS BASED ON EFFECTIVE MEDIUM APPROXIMATION
Abstract
The purpose of this article is to review some mixing laws based on the effective medium
approximation in predicting the effective elastic properties of bicontinuous media. Specific
attention is assigned to the systematic derivation of these mixing laws exploiting the information
of the microstructures of bicontinuous materials. In order to verify the accuracies of the various
mixing laws, the predicted effective values of real bicontinuous materials are compared to those
effective values obtained by finite element simulation.
