Abstract Higher-order multiscale structures are proposed to predict the effective elastic properties of 3-phase particle reinforced composites by considering the probabilistic spherical particles spatial distribution, the particle interactions,
and utilizing homogenization with ensemble volume average approach. The matrix material, spherical particles
with radius a1, and spherical particles with radius a2, are denoted as the 0th phase, the 1st phase, and the 2nd
phase, respectively. Particularly, the two inhomogeneity phases are different particle sizes and the same elastic
material properties. Improved higher-order (in ratio of spherical particle sizes to the distance between the centers
of spherical particles) bounds on effective More >
