報告1簡介

Theory: The formation of a composite mixes together materials to give averaged material properties, but also allows the generation of new materials with properties that were not present in any of the parent phases. This talk motivates research on laminates through a discussion of microstructure in ferroelectric materials and will show how the linear properties of laminates can be derived using classical theory of homogenization. 

報告2簡介

Application: following a brief review of the underlying theory, the talk explores some of the possibilities for forming materials with desirable elastic or electromagnetically coupled properties. Milton and Cherkaev showed [1995] that, given sufficiently extremal but isotropic starting materials, a homogenized composite could achieve any elastic tensor within the bounds imposed by thermodynamics. We explore the use of isotropic and anisotropic starting materials combined with layering and rotation for the generation of materials with features such as auxeticity. We further explore composites with tailored piezoelectric and magnetoelectric properties. It is well-known that the magnetoelectric effect can be generated in composites where none of the parent phases are themselves magnetoelectric. We discuss combinations of layered materials that can achieve enhanced performance and explore the limits of performance.
