Abstract

A homogenization micromechanical method is employed for the prediction of the effective moduli of electro-magneto-thermo-elastic composites. These include the effective elastic, piezoelectric, piezomagnetic, dielectric, magnetic permeability and electromagnetic coupling moduli, as well as the effective thermal expansion coefficients and the associated pyroelectric and pyromagnetic constants. Comparisons between the present homogenization theory, the generalized method of cells and the Mori-Tanaka predictions are given. Results are presented for fibrous and periodically bilaminated composites.
