Abstract

A method for determining the effective elastic constants and the factors of stress concentration in microstructural elements is proposed for nonlinear incompressible multicomponent composite materials randomly reinforced with spheroidal inclusions with an arbitrary ratio of the longitudinal and lateral dimensions. Use is made of the Mori-Tanaka scheme that has, as a first approximation, the result of calculation of the elastic characteristics based on a model taking account of two-point statistical moment functions of arbitrarily high order.
