Elasticity of Random Multiphase Materials: Percolation of the Stiffness Tensor

Topology and percolation effects play an important role in heterogeneous materials, but have rarely been studied for higher-order tensor properties. We explore the effective elastic properties of random multiphase materials using a combination of continuum computational simulations and analytical th...
