SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the Hashin-Shtrikman bounds, specifically their application in deriving the permittivity of homogeneous uniaxially anisotropic materials. Participants emphasize that the bounds are established by selecting a positive definite or negative definite tensor. The Hashin-Shtrikman formula is crucial for understanding the effective properties of composite materials, and users seek clarity on deriving the formula for permittivity in this context.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of tensor mathematics
  • Familiarity with anisotropic materials
  • Knowledge of permittivity concepts
  • Basic principles of composite material theory
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the derivation of the Hashin-Shtrikman bounds
  • Study the application of tensors in material science
  • Explore the properties of uniaxially anisotropic materials
  • Learn about effective medium theories in composite materials
USEFUL FOR

Material scientists, physicists, and engineers working with composite materials and those interested in the theoretical foundations of anisotropic material properties.

Is anyone familiar with the Hashin-Shtrikman bounds and the principles behind them? Will you be so kind as to post a simple explanation?

So far, what I have grasped is that they came up with a functional and the bounds are obtained when a certain tensor is chosen to be positive definite/negative definite.

hi
I am working on the same problem Hashin-Shtrikman formula for permittivity of a homogeneous uniaxially anisotropic material.I have the formula of permittivity of the same material.

But I don't know to derive it . Please help me If you have got any idea in this topic.

Thread 'Traveling through space at zero km/s'

In sci-fi when an author is talking about space travellers or describing the movement of galaxies they will say something like “movement in space only means anything in relation to another object”. Examples of this would be, a space ship moving away from earth at 100 km/s, or 2 galaxies moving towards each other at one light year per century. I think it would make it easier to describe movement in space if we had three axis that we all agree on and we used 0 km/s relative to the speed of...
