Abstract
In this work, some solutions such as Mori-Tanaka approximation (MTA), Differential approximations (DA), and Fast Fourier transformation method (FFT) were applied to estimate the elastic bulk and shear modulus of three-phase composites in 2D. In which two different sizes of circular inclusions are arranged randomly non-overlapping in a continuous matrix. The numerical solutions using FFT analysis were compared with DA, MTA, and Hashin-Strikman's bounds. The MTA and DA reasonably agreeable solution with the FFT solution shows the effectiveness of the approximation methods, which makes MTA, DA useful with simplicity and ease of application.
