Abstract. This paper reports the numerical results of the effective moduli of a composite consisting of identical rigid spherical inclusions in a homogeneous isotropic elastic medium. The effective moduli are calculated for particles in simple, body-centered, face-centered cubic lattices, and in a random configuration. The numerical technique used is the Completed Double Layer Boundary Element Method (CDLBEM) augmented by a short-range lubrication approximation. The results agree well with previous numerical results obtained by a completely different technique. Agreement with experimental results for particles in random configurations is also observed.
