Estimation of effective moduli of composites through self-consistent scheme by Kavin Raj Nedumaran

“…The purpose of this project is to extend Budiansky’s (1965) self-consistent method and inclusion-matrix-composite theory of Christensen and Lo (1979) to the development of a new method that would serve as an alternative to Tang’s (2017) averaging procedure in associating structural properties at the macroscopic level with microscopic crack distributions. This method involved the development of a numerical version of the self-consistent scheme. …”
