A. Helte, 4TH-ORDER BOUNDS ON THE EFFECTIVE BULK AND SHEAR MODULI OF RANDOM DISPERSIONS OF PENETRABLE SPHERES, Proceedings - Royal Society. Mathematical and physical sciences, 450(1940), 1995, pp. 651-665
The structural parameters entering the fourth-order bounds of Milton &
Phan-Thien (Proc. R. Soc. Lond. A 380, 305 (1982)) on the effective b
ulk and shear moduli of two-component materials are expressed in terms
of integrals over three- and four-point correlation functions to faci
litate numerical calculations on systems for which the correlation fun
ctions are known. These integral expressions are then used to numerica
lly calculate the structural parameters of random dispersions of penet
rable spheres.
