Abstract

Effective elastic moduli of 2-D solids with randomly located perfectly rigid elliptical inclusions are derived using non-interacting approximation. This approximation constitutes the basic building block for various approximate schemes in micromechanics of materials with interacting inhomogeneities. Anisotropy due to non-random orientation of inclusions is investigated. The results are obtained in closed form and compared against existing solutions.
