MECHANICAL PROPERTIES OF TWO-COMPONENT RANDOMLY INHOMOGENEOUS COMPOSITES IN UNIAXIAL TENSION (COMPRESSION, TORSION).

The widespread use of multicomponent systems in recent years is due, in particular, to the need of devising materials with specified properties and to the development of powder metallurgy. One of the most important problems is the investigation of the properties of their components. Not investigated, in fact, has been the problem of selecting the curves of the dependence of stresses on strains of the materials of the components of a multicomponent system to obtain its previously specified properties. This work investigates the mechanical characteristics of composite materials according to the characteristics of the components. For the sake of simplicity the author confines himself to 2-component systems.
