The homogenization of orthorhombic piezoelectric composites by the strong-property-fluctuation theory
The linear strong-property-fluctuation theory (SPFT) was developed in order to estimate the constitutive parameters of certain homogenized composite materials (HCMs) in a long-wavelength regime. The component materials of the HCM were generally orthorhombic mm2 piezoelectric materials, which were randomly distributed as oriented ellipsoidal particles. At the second-order level of approximation, …
