Abstract
We consider a model composite material consisting of circular copper inclusions embedded in an epoxy matrix. The matrix-inclusion interface is either perfectly bonded or there is an interfacial layer, called the interphase, which has distinct properties from those of the inclusions and the matrix. The inclusions are arranged randomly in the matrix. We study such a composite system experimentally by using a photoelasticity method and numerically via a finite element method. For a more basic understanding of this problem we also consider a single inclusion solution. This is done analytically, numerically and experimentally.
