Abstract

Abstract

The boundary element method was improved for the 2D elastic composites with randomly distributed inclusions.This problem can be reduced to a boundary integral equation for a multi-connected domain.Further,considering the matrices of the tractions and displacements for each group of the identical inclusion were the same,an effective computational scheme was designed,since the orders of the resulting matrix equations can be greatly reduced.Numerical examples indicate that this boundary element method scheme is more effective than the conventional multi-domain boundary element method for such a problem.The present scheme can be used to investigate the effective mechanical properties of the fiber-reinforced composites.
