Abstract

The elastic properties of mica-reinforced composites have been analysed in terms of the classical model of Voigt and Reuss. It has been shown that Hill's average based on these two models best represents the data. Over the range of volume fractions of mica studied, it is given by the equation Ec = ½VfEf + Em(1 + ½Vf2) where Ef is the effective value of reinforcement modulus, Vf is the volume fraction of the reinforcement phase and subscripts c, f and m refer to composite, reinforcement and matrix properties respectively.
