Abstract
AbstractA composite normally consists of a material forming a continuous matrix and a different material in the form of discrete particles. The composite structure is characterized by the proportions of each component, the shape of the particles and their arrangement in space. A generalized way to characterize a particle shape and its position relative to adjacent particles is shown to describe the various geometrical arrangements of two components in space. The components of a composite often have different transport or related properties, i.e., thermal or electrical conductivity, gas permeability, modulus of elasticity, etc. A given property of a composite is a function of the structure of the composite and the corresponding property of each component. Structure‐property analytical relationships are presented and compared. A generalized relationship corresponding to a generalized particle is discussed and shown to be practical and realistic.
