Abstract

Effective properties of random 2D composites are discussed in the framework of the representative volume element (RVE) theory proposed by Mityushev (Complex Var. Elliptic Equ. 51:1033–1045 2006). This theory is extended to 2D fiber composites with sections perpendicular to fibers of different radii. The RVE theory is applied to the mixture problem arisen in technological processes.
