DESCRIPTION:Heterogeneous materials: Microstructure-property connections a
 nd cross-property relations\nMark Kachanov\nTufts University\n\nWe conside
 r materials with cracks\, inclusions\, pores and consider relations betwee
 n the effective properties (elasticity\, thermal and electric conductivity
 ) and microstructures. We then discuss the connections between the elastic
  and the conductive properties (cross-property connections). The usefulnes
 s of these connections is due to the following factors:\n\n	Expressing the
  effective properties in terms of microstructures requires rather detailed
  knowledge of microstructural information – that may not be available\;\
 n	Using these connections\, we can replace measuring the elastic constants
  (that can be a difficult problem\, particularly in anisotropic cases) by 
 easier task – measuring the electric conductivity\n	The cross-property c
 onnections can be used for design of microstructures for the best combinat
 ion of the elastic and conductive properties (for example\, in various coa
 tings)\n
