On Mechanical Response of Macro- and Microfiller-Reinforced Polymer: Young Modulus and Shear Wave Velocity

The problem of effective shear and bulk moduli, of an effective Poison’s ratio and of an effective dielectric response in microcomposites of the ferroelastic-dielectric type was studied by us recently. Recently one of us, M. Hudak, studied static mechanical properties of the EVA material theoretically and experimentally. We extend our mentioned study of mechanical response of microcomposites of the type ferrolastics - dielectrics to study of Young modulus and shear wave velocity.
