A modified coherent potential approximation: Grain-contact moduli and coordination-number effect

We modified the self-consistent coherent potential approximation (CPA) for modeling properties of granular composite materials so that it takes into consideration the grain coordination number and distinctive elastic moduli for grain-contact zones. The original CPA was reasonably accurate for low-po...
