Lecture

Effective Elastic Moduli

Description

This lecture covers the concept of effective elastic moduli in composite materials, focusing on the Eshelby inclusion theory. It explains how to determine the average stress and strain fields in a material with multiple inclusions, and how to calculate the effective stiffness tensor. The lecture also discusses the Hashin-Shtrikman lower bound and the application of the Composite Spheres model. Various equations and derivations are presented to illustrate the analysis of the stress and strain distribution in the composite material.
