Abstract

Consider a 2D composites with non-overlapping equal inclusions imbedded in a host material of the normalized unit conductivity. The conductivity of inclusions takes two values σ1\sigma_1 and σ2\sigma_2 with the probabilities pp and 1p1-p, respectively. We prove that the effective conductivity tensor of the considered three-phase random composite is equal to the effective conductivity tensor of the two-phase deterministic composite with the same inclusions of the conductivity σ=[p(σ1  σ2)+ σ2+σ1σ2][1+σ1p(σ1σ2)]1\sigma=[p(\sigma_1~-~\sigma_2)+~\sigma_2+\sigma_1\sigma_2] [1+\sigma_1-p(\sigma_1-\sigma_2)]^{-1}.
