Abstract
Overall linear and non-linear properties for micropolar composites containing 3D and in-plane randomly oriented inclusions are examined with an analytical micromechanical method. This method is based on Eshelby solution for a general ellipsoidal inclusion in a micropolar media and secant moduli method. The influence of inclusionâs shape, size and orientation on the classical effective moduli, yielding surface and non-linear stress and strain relation are examined. The results show that the effective moduli and non-linear stressâstrain curves are always higher for micropolar composites than the corresponding classical composites. When the inclusionâs size is sufficiently large, the classical results can be recovered.
