The Löwner partial order is taken into consideration in order to define Löwner majorants for a given finite set of symmetric matrices. A special class of Löwner majorants is analyzed based on two specific matrix parametrizations: a two-parametric form and a four-parametric form, which arise in the context of so-called zeroth-order bounds of the effective linear behavior in the field of solid mechanics in engineering. The condensed explicit conditions defining the convex parameter sets of Löwner majorants are derived. Examples are provided, and potential application to semidefinite programming problems is discussed. Open-source MATLAB software is provided to support the theoretical findings and for reproduction of the presented results. The results of the present work offer in combination with the theory of zeroth-order bounds of mechanics a highly efficient approach for the automated material selection for future engineering applications.

A higher-order multiscale structure for three-phase composites containing randomly located yet unidirectionally aligned circular fibers is proposed to predict effective transverse elastic moduli based on the probabilistic spatial distribution of circular fibers, the pairwise fiber interactions, and the ensemble-area multi-level homogenization method. Specifically, the two inhomogeneity phases feature distinct elastic properties and sizes. In the special event, two-phase composites with same elastic properties and sizes of fibers are studied. Two non-equivalent micromechanical formulations are considered to derive effective transverse elastic moduli of two-phase composites leading to new higher-order bounds. Furthermore, the effective transverse elastic moduli for an incompressible matrix containing randomly located and identical circular rigid fibers and voids are derived. It is demonstrated that significant improvements in the singular problems and accuracy are achieved by the proposed methodology. Numerical examples and comparisons among our theoretical predictions, available experimental data, and other analytical predictions are rendered to illustrate the potential of the present method.
