Materials CharacterizationSummary:
This paper presents a unified approach to predict the overall elastic properties of homogeneous and isotropic composite
materials from the micromechanics point of view. Within the framework of the approach, the commonly used approaches such
as dilute estimate, Voigt estimate (VE), Reuss estimate (RE), modified rule of mixture, self-consistent estimate (SCE), Mori-
Tanaka estimate (MTE) and Wakashima-Tsukamoto estimate (WTE) are expressible in the same form solely with different
parameters. Particularly, the Voigt bound (VB) and Reuss bound (RB), as well as the Hashin-Shtrikman bounds (HSBs), are
easily obtained by properly choosing the homogeneous comparison material. Furthermore, in light of the present approach,
tighter than Hashin-Shtrikman bounds are proposed that can also be regarded as two kinds of estimates.Co-author:
