Effective Properties of Heterogeneous Magnetoelectroelastic Materials with Multi-Coated Inclusions

Abstract

In this paper, the effective properties of magnetoelectroelastic heterogeneous materials with ellipsoidal multi-inclusions are modeled and numerically investigated. The modeling is based on the integral equation that takes into account the multi-coated effect as well as the magnetoelectroelastic interfacial operators and global and local concentration tensors. Various types and kinds of coatings can be considered. The effective properties are predicted based on various micromechanical models such as Mori-Tanaka, Self-Consistent and Incremental Self-Consistent. These properties are presented in terms of the volume fractions of the multi-coated inclusions, thicknesses of the coatings, type and kind of inclusions.
