Abstract
Porous media with particles are an attractive material system for multi-functional composite materials. The random geometry like as real media is analyzed with the objective of reproducing it numerically. For efficient numerical calculation, micromechanics model of the porous composite is proposed for predicting the anisotropic mechanical properties of porous materials. Random distribution of ellipsoidal voids and particles is generated in the periodical unit cell region. Mechanical properties particle-reinforced porous materials are evaluated using the model.
