Effect of a Minimal Spacing between Inhomogeneities on the Effective Moduli of Isotropic Plates with Circular Inhomogeneities
Source abstract
Abstract
An interaction factor is used to characterize the effect of the interactions among inhomogeneities on the effective moduli. Many circular samples of plates are generated using a random number generator. When randomly generating a sample, a minimal spacing between inhomogeneities is set. Then, simulations using FEM are carried out to check the effect of the minimal spacing on the interaction factor. FEM results show that the interaction factor decreases as the minimal spacing increases.
