One considers a linear elastic composite material (CM, [1]), which consists of a homogeneous matrix containing the random set of heterogeneities. An operator form of the general integral equation (GIE, [2–6]) connecting the stress and strain fields in the point being considered and the surrounding points are obtained for the random fields of inclusions in the infinite media. The new GIE is presented in a general form of perturbations introduced by the heterogeneities and defined at the inclusion interface by the unknown fields of both the displacement and traction. The method of obtaining of the GIE is based on a centering procedure of subtraction from both sides of a new initial integral equation their statistical averages obtained without any auxiliary assumptions such as the effective field hypothesis (EFH), which is implicitly exploited in the known centering methods. One proves the absolute convergence of the proposed GIEs, and some particular cases, asymptotic representations, and simplifications of proposed GIEs are presented for the particular constitutive equations of linear thermoelasticity. In particular, we use a meshfree method [7] based on fundamental solutions basis functions for a transmission problem in linear elasticity. Numerical results were obtained for 2D CMs reinforced by noncanonical inclusions.

AbstractThe coupled integral equations for dynamical scattering are developed from the general integral equation. The results are given in the forward scattering approximation. Extension to bade scattering is briefly mentioned. Expressions for distorted crystals are derived both in the column approximation and beyond. The formulation is suggested to be very useful as a basis for perturbation methods.

We use the -Chu-Vandermonde formula and transformation technique to derive a more general -integral equation given by Gasper and Rahman, which involves the Cauchy polynomial. In addition, some applications of the general formula are presented in this paper.

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.
