The effective shear modulus of a random isotropic suspension of monodisperse liquid <i>n</i>-spheres: from the dilute limit to the percolation threshold
Kamalendu Ghosh, Victor Lefèvre, Oscar Lopez‐Pamies
Abstract
A study is made of the macroscopic mechanical response of a random isotropic suspension of liquid n -spherical inclusions ( n = 2, 3), each having identical initial radius A , in an elastomer subjected to small quasistatic deformations.
