ABSTRACT

In this study, composites including very small particles or very thin fibers are considered. Here, the particles and the fibers have at least one dimension in micro-level. The materials of matrix and inclusions are considered as homogeneous, linear-elastic and isotropic.The volume concentration which is inclusion volume to total volume ratio is very small in considered composites. So, there are no interactions between them. Furthermore, inclusions distribute in the matrix homogeneously. Here, the elastic constants of matrix material are very lower than those of fibers.
