A study of the differential scheme for composite materials

TL;DR: In this article, the overall moduli of a 2-phase linearly elastic composite are estimated by the differential scheme, where the phases may be arbitrarily anisotropic and 1 phase is regarded as similar ellipsoidal inclusions at any concentration embedded homogeneously in a matrix.

On composites with periodic structure

TL;DR: In this article, the overall elastic moduli of a composite with an isotropic elastic matrix containing periodically distributed (anisotropic) inclusions or voids, can be expressed in terms of several infinite series which only depend on the geometry of the inclusions and voids.

Fourth-rank tensors of the thirty-two crystal classes: multiplication tables

TL;DR: The fourth-rank tensors that embody the elastic or other properties of crystalline anisotropic substances can be partitioned into a number of sets in order that each shall acknowledge the symmetry of one or more of the crystal classes and moreover make up a closed linear associative algebra of hypercomplex numbers for the purpose of calculating the sums, products and inverses of its constituent tensors, to which end coordinate invariant expressions of the tensors are adopted.
