  • computation of the effective dielectric constant of two component three dimensional mixtures using a simple pole Expansion method
    Journal of Applied Physics, 1997
    Co-Authors: Ce Liu
    Abstract:

    Bergman and Milton proved that the effective dielectric constant or conductivity of a two-component composite material is a function of the ratio of the dielectric constants or conductivities of the components which can be described by a Series of simple poles and residues. These poles and residues are determined only by the microgeometry of the composite. In this study, we use a simplified three-dimensional Fourier Series Expansion method to locate the poles and residues for simple cubic, body-centered, and face-centered lattices in different concentrations. Comparison between the simple pole theory and the Fourier Series Expansion method shows a good agreement.

  • a simplified Fourier Series Expansion method for computing the effective dielectric constant of a two component three dimensional composite material with geometric symmetry
    Modelling and Simulation in Materials Science and Engineering, 1996
    Co-Authors: Ce Liu, Qun Zou
    Abstract:

    The mixing theory for predicting electric behaviors of composite materials is essential to the interpretation of electromagnetic remote sensing and material sciences. Developing an accurate and versatile computation method to evaluate the effective dielectric constant of a composite material has been an interesting topic. Since the effective dielectric constant of the composite material is a function of both the dielectric constant of each component and the microgeometry of the material, a mixing theory has to consider the role of the geometric structure of the material. We present a method to compute the effective dielectric constant of a two-component three-dimensional mixture with geometric symmetry using a simplified Fourier Series Expansion. The developed method can be applied to materials with arbitrary porosity. Three models have been studied: simple, body-centered, and face-centered cubic lattices. The Fourier Series Expansion method avoids the difficulty of boundary-condition matching and has no limit on the porosities of composite materials. To simplify the Fourier Series Expansion technique, geometric symmetry of the composite material is assumed. The computed numerical results have verified the success of the formulation. The electric field distribution in the material is also presented. We calculated the effective dielectric constant with a CPU time reduction of 1.2 - 6 times for the first-order approximation and 5 - 26 times for the second order compared to the formulation without considering geometry symmetry.
