Heterogeneous materials: Microstructure-property connections and cross-property relations
Mark Kachanov
Tufts University
We consider materials with cracks, inclusions, pores and consider relations between 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 usefulness of these connections is due to the following factors:

We consider materials with cracks, inclusions, pores and consider relations between 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 usefulness of these connections is due to the following factors:
- Expressing the effective properties in terms of microstructures requires rather detailed knowledge of microstructural information – that may not be available;
- 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
- The cross-property connections can be used for design of microstructures for the best combination of the elastic and conductive properties (for example, in various coatings)
