Abstract

The macroscopic modelling of the macroscopic behaviour of inhomegeneous media requires evaluation of the effective moduli. In the relevant literature, many papers were concerned with estimating of macroscopic moduli λe(x)) for two-phase materials. The main aim of this paper is to find the best estimation of λe(x)) from a given finite number of coefficients of power expansions of λe(x) at x = xi, i = 1, 2, ...,N,N +1, and apply them to model a torsional behaviour of a human cancellous bone filled with marrow. Errors of numerical evaluations are calculated and discussed.
