Abstract

In addition to the prediction of effective elastic properties of random media, the statistical variations of these properties for finite size specimens are of practical interest. From finite element method calculations on simulated 2D random media, size effects are studied and modelled. They enable us to draw practical conclusions for finite element applications to elastic random media.
