This lecture covers the rigorous upper and lower bounds on the effective properties of 2-phase composites, focusing on isotropic phases and laminated plates. The discussion includes the relationship between stress and strain, the microstructure arrangement determining the bounds, and the implications when there are no cracks in the material.
