Zusammenfassung: | In this article, analytical and semi-analytical models of upper and lower bounds for the effective moduli of transversely isotropic piezoelectric heterogeneous materials based on the generalized Hashin–Shtrikman variational principle are presented. Compact matrix formulations are used to derive closed-form bound expressions for coupled and uncoupled effective moduli. Analytical models are given for some uncoupled coefficients and simplified formulations for the others. For more narrow bounds, downstream and upstream bounds are developed based on an incremental procedure. Numerical predictions are performed based on the developed methodological approaches, and the obtained results showed the applicability and effectiveness of the proposed models for transversely isotropic elastic and piezoelectric composite materials with ellipsoidal reinforcements of different types and shapes. |
