摘要
A novel computational model is presented using the eigenstrain formulation of the boundary integral equations for modeling the particle-reinforced composites. The model and the solution procedure are both resulted intimately from the concepts of the equivalent inclusion of Eshelby with eigenstrains to be determined in an iterative way for each inhomogeneity embedded in the matrix. The eigenstrains of inhomogeneity are determined with the aid of the Eshelby tensors, which can be readily obtained beforehand through either analytical or numerical means. The solution scale of the inhomogeneity problem with the present model is greatly reduced since the unknowns appear only on the boundary of the solution domain, The overall elastic properties are solved using the newly developed boundary point method for particle-reinforced inhomogeneous materials over a representative volume element with the present model. The effects of a variety of factors related to inhomogeneities on the overall properties of composites as well as on the convergence behaviors of the algorithm are studied numerically including the properties and shapes and orientations and distributions and the total number of particles, showing the validity and the effectiveness of the proposed computational model.
