ANALOGY OF MECHANICAL AND TRANSPORT PROPERTIES IN DISPERSE COMPOSITES

Analogy ofthe mechanical andtransport properties on disperse composites is a literature
research in identifying experimental data reported for mechanical and various transport
properties in composite materials. The main objective is to explore the possibility to arrive at a
common model for both effective thermal conductivity and shear modulus in terms of the
properties of individual phases and the volume fraction. Poor utilization of one researcher's
results in one field by other researchers is the problem that has been faced in developing
approaches in prediction of the properties of disperse media. This study is concerned with
particulate filled matrices constitute from a three and two dimensional composites. A large
BHts&er of theoretical modelsand data gathered that had been proposed by earlier researcher are
been studied and included in the literature review. Those models being identified in order to
applythem to these experimental data and see how they compare. In the result part, the desired
models, Eshelby and Halpin-Tsai winch chosen to be predictive model will be discussed in
farther The assumptions and explanation for other models also included in discussion part
