TLDR
In this paper, a heuristic analysis is given for the determination of the elastic moduli of a composite material, the several constituents of which are each isotropic and elastic, and the results are intended to apply to heterogeneous materials composed of contiguous, more-or-less spherical grains of each of the phases.

A new approach to the application of Mori-Tanaka's theory in composite materials

TL;DR: In this paper, a reconsideration and reformulation of the Mori-Tanaka's theory in its application to the computation of the effective properties of composites is presented, which is a straightforward exposition and interpretation of the method which are different than those existing in previous formulations.

Solutions for effective shear properties in three phase sphere and cylinder models

TL;DR: In this paper, the effective shear modulus of two types of composite material models are compared. And the results are found to differ from those of the well-known Kerner and Hermans formulae for the same models.

Elastic moduli of a cracked solid

TL;DR: In this paper, a self-consistent method for the elastic moduli of bodies containing randomly distributed flat cracks, with or without fluid in their interiors, is proposed and general concepts are outlined for arbitrary cracks and explicit derivations together with numerical results are given.

Elastic properties of reinforced solids: some theoretical principles

TL;DR: In this paper, an elementary account of several theoretical methods of attack is given, among them the derivation of inequalities between various moduli, and the approach is completely general and exact.

Berechnung der elastischen Konstanten des Vielkristalls aus den Konstanten des Einkristalls

TL;DR: In this article, anwendungsmoglichkeiten der Methode werden besprochen, in which experimentelle Vergleichswerte weichen von den berechneten etwas ab, was beweist, das die Experimente nicht den von der Theorie geforderten idealen Bedingungen genugt haben.
