In this approach, those inhomogeneities are substituted by simple equivalent circular-inclusions with modified elastic properties obtained from comparing the dilute solution results. Available simple approximations for the equivalent circular-inclusion medium then can be used to estimate the effective elastic moduli of the original composite. Robustness of proposed approach is demonstrated through the numerical examples with elliptic inclusions.</p>}, number={2}, journal={Vietnam Journal of Mechanics}, author={Quyet, Tran Nguyen and Chinh, Pham Duc and Binh, Tran Anh}, year={2015}, month={May}, pages={123–132} }
