Title: Effective Scalar Properties of the Critical Region in Functionality Graded Materials

Journal Article · · Physica A: Statistical Mechanics and its Applications

The critical region in a compositionally graded material occurs where the dominant phase ceases to percolate, and so is poorly treated by effective medium theories. To address this problem, equations for the size and effective scalar properties of that region are obtained from percolation theory.
