Abstract: The purpose of the present article is to review recent advances made in the determination and calculation of improved bounds on the effective properties of random heterogeneous media that depend ...

Abstract: Improved rigorous bounds on the effective elastic moduli of a transversely isotropic fiber-reinforced material composed of aligned, infinitely long, equisized, circular cylinders distributed throughout ...

Abstract: This paper studies the determination of rigorous upper and lower bounds on the effective transport and elastic moduli of a transversely isotropic fiber-reinforced composite derived by Silnutzer ...
