Abstract

By means of the correspondence principle the influence of inclusion shape and the superimposed strain rate on the overall stress-strain relation of a two-phase, isotropic composite containing randomly oriented spheroidal inclusions is examined. The elastic counterpart of the problem is the work of Tandon and Weng (1986a). Some explicit results are obtained with the simple Maxwell matrix for the two extreme inclusion shapes: sphere and disc. A more detailed numerical study is carried out with a four-parameter matrix, where the properties of glass and ED-6 resin are taken respectively as those of the inclusions and the viscoelastic matrix.
