On structural mixture theory applied to elastic isotropic materials with internal three-component nanoscale structure

  • Published:
International Applied Mechanics Aims and scope

Two types of isotropic materials are considered: two- and three-component elastic particulate composite materials. Two elastic mixture models describing the propagation of plane waves in such materials are briefly characterized. The basic features of plane wave motion are analyzed for both models. The descriptions of the wave picture are compared to reveal some general cases of similarity and difference. To this end, the material is modeled by a three-component elastic mixture and, additionally, plane waves are analyzed using this model
