Abstract

Together with the methods described in the previous chapter, overall moduli and local field averages in the phases can be estimated by one of several approximate methods, which use different models of the microstructure. Among those described here are variants of the average field approximation, or AFA, which rely on strain or stress field averages in solitary ellipsoidal inhomogeneities, embedded in large volumes of different comparison media L 0. Among the most widely used procedures are the self-consistent and Mori-Tanaka methods, and the differential scheme, described in Sects. 7.1, 7.2 and 7.3. Those are followed by several double inclusion or double inhomogeneity models in Sect. 7.4, and by illustrative comparison with finite element evaluations for functionally graded materials in Sect. 7.5.
