    Notes: The boundary element method is applied to determine the effective elastic moduli of continuum models of composite materials. In this paper, we specialize to the idealized model of hexagonal arrays of infinitely long, aligned cylinders in a matrix (a model of a fiber-reinforced material) or a thin-plate composite consisting of hexagonal arrays of disks in a matrix. Thus, one need only consider two-dimensional elasticity, i.e., either plane-strain or plane-stress elasticity. This paper examines a variety of cases in which the inclusions are either stiffer or weaker than the matrix for a wide range of inclusion volume fractions φ2. Our comprehensive set of simulation data for the elastic moduli are tabulated. Using the boundary element method, a key microstructural parameter η2 that arises in rigorous three-point bounds on the effective shear modulus is also computed. Our numerical simulations of the elastic moduli for the hexagonal array are compared to rigorous two-point and three-point bounds on the respective effective properties. In the extreme instances of either superrigid particles or voids, we compare analytical relations for the elastic moduli near dilute and close packing limits to our simulation results.

    Description / Table of Contents: Résumé Les matériaux non homogène pris en considération dans ce travail entrent dans une classe dont les modules d'élasticité sont des fonctions continues, et généralement différentielles, des coordonnées spaciales. On deduit les champs de contraintes élastiques et de déplacements au voisinage de l'extrémité d'une fissure dans un corps non homogène à deux dimensions et fissuré, en recourant à une extension de la technique d'expansion d'une eigen-fonction due à Williams. On constate que la nature de la singularité de contrainte et de déformation est précisément de la même forme que la singularité bien connue, en forme de l'inverse de la racine carrée de la contrainte, au voisinage de l'extrémité d'une fissure dans un matériau homogène, indépendamment de la forme analytique de vatiation du module d'élasticité. On établit une intégrale quasi indépendante du parcours, qui se révèle utile pour calculer la vitesse de dissipation de l'énergie et les facteurs d'intensité de contrainte correspondant à des modes mixtes, dans des corps non homogènes fissurés. L'intégrale est utilisée en association avec une analyse par éléments finis, en vue de calculer les facteurs d'intensité de contraintes. Les résultats numériques sont comparés à certaines solutions exactes disponibles pour des corps non homogènes fissurés. Les corps fissurés en matériaux composites ont été traditionnellement modélisés et analysés comme s'il présentaient des modules d'élasticité discontinus. Ils sont traités ici comme des corps présentant des variations rapides mais continues des propriétés de matériaux qui les constituent.
    Notes: Abstract The nonhomogeneous materials considered in this work are of a class whose elastic moduli are specified by continuous and generally differentiable functions of the spatial coordinates. The elastic stress and displacement fields near a crack tip in a two-dimensional nonhomogeneous cracked body are derived utilizing an extension of the Wiliams eigenfunction expansion technique. The nature of the stress and strain singularity is ascertained to be precisely of the same form as the well-known inverse square root stress singularity near a crack tip in a homogeneous material, independent of the functional form of the elastic moduli variation. A new quasipath-independent integral has been generated which proves useful for computing the energy release rate and mixed-mode stress intensity factors in nonhomogeneous cracked bodies. The integral is used in conjunction with finite element analysis for purposes of computing stress intensity factors. Numerical results are compared with certain exact solutions which are available for nonhomogeneous cracked bodies. Cracked composite bodies have traditionally been modeled and analyzed as possessing discontinuous elastic moduli, but are treated here as having rapid, but smooth variations of the material properties.
