Averaging the electrical properties of fiber-reinforced metal composites

Mechanics of Composite Materials Aims and scope

Abstract

Using the regular structure model, we average the electrical properties of unidirectional fiber-reinforced metal composites and propose procedures for determination of the effective electrical conductivity tensor of these materials. For the general case of packing of fibers of arbitrary cross section, the problem is reduced to calculation of some functionals determined in solutions of the integral equation of the corresponding boundary current problem for the structure. In the special case of symmetric packing of fibers of circular cross section, the solution is written in the form of series in elliptic functions.
