We study the effective elastic moduli of two-dimensional composite materials containing polygonal holes. In the analysis we use a complex variable method of elasticity involving a conformal transformation. Then we take a far field result and derive the effective elastic constants of composites with a dilute concentration of polygonal holes. In the discussion we use the recently-stated Cherkaev-Lurie-Milton theorem, which gives general relations between the effective elastic constants of two-dimensional composites. We also discuss known results for elliptical holes in the context of the present work.

In this paper, we focus on the effective elastic constants of composite materials and pay attention to the possibility of reducing the number of independent variables. Surprisingly, this important issue has hardly been explored before. In our analysis, we rely on a new result in plane elasticity due to Cherkaev, Lurie, and Milton (1992), and use Dundurs constants (Dundurs, 1967, 1969). As an example, we consider a result for the effective elastic moduli of a composite containing a dilute concentration of perfectly-bonded circular inclusions.

In this paper we demonstrate a high potential of transient grating method to study the behavior of surface acoustic waves in nanowires-based composite structures. The investigation of dispersion curves is done by adjusting the calculated dispersion curves to the experimental results. The wave propagation is simulated using the explicit integral and asymptotic representations for laser-generated surface acoustic waves in layered anisotropic waveguides. The analysis of the behavior permits to determine all elastic constants and effective elastic moduli of constituent materials, which is important both for technological applications of these materials and for basic scientific studies of their physical properties.

We examine the influence of the grain shape on the effective elastic moduli of polycrystalline materials. For that purpose the real material is simulated by a cluster of Wigner-Seitz cells. For clarity each aggregate consists of grains with only one type of shape. Therefore we can classify each cluster by the coordination number of its grains. To determine the elastic moduli a homogeneous deformation is subjected to the surface of the cluster. The solution of this boundary value problem yields the average stress and strain governing inside the material whose interconnection by Hooke's law leads to the sought-for effective constants.The most important result is that with increasing coordination number the elastic moduli decrease.

Statistical micromechanical formulations are presented to investigate effective elastic moduli of two-dimensional brittle solids with interacting slit microcracks. The macroscopic stress-strain relations of elastic solids with interacting microcracks are micromechanically derived by taking the ensemble average over all possible realizations which feature the same material microstructural geometry, characteristics, and loading conditions. Approximate analytical solutions of a two-microcrack interaction problem are introduced to account for microcrack interaction among many randomly oriented and located microcracks. The overall elastic-damage compliances of microcrack-weakened brittle solids under uniaxial and biaxial loads are also derived. Therefore, stationary statistical micromechanical formulation is completed. Moreover, some special cases are investigated by using the proposed framework. At variance with existing phenomenological continuum damage models, the proposed framework does not employ any fitted “material parameters. ” “Cleavage 1” microcrack growth and “evolutionary damage models” within the proposed context will be presented in Part II of this series. It is emphasized that microstructural statistical informations are already embedded in the proposed ensemble-averaged equations and, therefore, no Monte Carlo simulations are needed.
