Abstract
An analysis of the static behavior using the self‐consistent effective medium method for a composite with randomly aligned spheroidal inclusions embedded in a matrix is studied. The constituents of which may have piezoelectric properties. Based on the self‐consistent method proposed by F.J. Sabina and V. Levin an analysis of the static overall properties is developed for piezoelectric composites. The electroelastic Green's functions by Willis's approach is developed and the spheroidal shape inclusion is studied with the help of it. In that sense, the influence of various geometrical forms of the inclusions is analyzed. Comparisons with other self‐consistent methods, finite element calculations, two scale asymptotic homogenization method and with experimental data show good results.
