Assessment of a Simple Analytical Structure-Property Relationship for Composites by a Numerical Method

The application of a finite difference-type method to the numerical investigation of Structure-Property relationships for a simple general structure referred to as the Generalized Parallelepipedic Particle in a Parallelepipedic Array (GPPPA) is described. Numerical results are compared to the predic...

Description
Summary:The application of a finite difference-type method to the numerical investigation of Structure-Property relationships for a simple general structure referred to as the Generalized Parallelepipedic Particle in a Parallelepipedic Array (GPPPA) is described. Numerical results are compared to the predictions of a simple, semi-empirical analytical relation ship referred to as the Generalized Rayleigh-Maxwell Relationship for Parallelepipedic Particles (GRMPP) and the agreement is found to be good for a wide range of values of Structure and Property parameters.
