THE INFLUENCE OF STRUCTURAL FEATURES OF COMPOSITE MATERIAL ON ITS MACROSCOPIC PROPERTIES
ABSTRACT
The paper presents a comparative analysis of the stress-strain state and effective properties of the ensembles with different locations of inclusions inside an elastomer composite. The relationships between the effective Young modulus and the filler concentration are obtained for regular networks, chaos, filler networks and particle aggregates. It is shown that at high filler concentrations the effective Young modulus lies within the interval between the regular triangular and rectangular locations of inclusions. For 52% filling the effective modulus for triangular and rectangular networks differs almost twofold. For higher fillings this effective modulus increases manyfold. The results found for the structures of interest are compared and analyzed.
