Abstract
Influence of reinforced particle size distribution on the mechanics properties of particle reinforced composites was studied. Using the fractal theory, the grain size probability distribution was taken into account to amend the existing equivalent inclusion method of composite micromechanics. A new equivalent force method reflecting the grain size probability distribution was established. Taking concrete as an example, effects of volume fraction, modulus ratio of inclusion to matrix, and resolution of fractal structure to composite mechanics properties were analyzed. The results show that this new method can be used to study the influence of microstructures on the mechanics performance of particle reinforced composites.
