Effective electrical conductivity of two-phase disordered composite media

Torquato, S.·1985·Journal of Applied Physics

Abstract

Perturbation expansions of the effective electrical conductivity σe of any two-phase isotropic composite medium of arbitrary dimensionality d (where d=2,3) are derived. It is shown that certain Padé approximants of a particular series representation of σe yield known rigorous bounds on the conductivity of the composite. The relationships between the conductivities of certain models that are exactly realized by some of these bounds and the perturbation expansions are discussed. A new expression for the conductivity of a broad class of three-dimensional dispersions of inclusions is derived. The formula for σe, which depends upon, among other quantities, a certain three-point probability function of the composite medium, is shown to accurately predict σe of both periodic and random arrays of impenetrable spheres, for a wide range of phase conductivities and inclusion volume fractions.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
