| Abstract Scope |
Designing optimal random composites, including dual-phase materials and random metamaterials, is non-trivial due to the lack of a simple unit cell or representative volume element. Such materials are dominated by short-range correlations among the components, which cannot be ignored. Fortunately, percolation theory can be used to develop quantitative structure-property relations in random systems. Percolation theory predicts the divergence of macroscopic properties in random systems at the percolation threshold as well as how such properties scale away from the threshold; although the variation of this threshold in response to arbitrary short-range correlations remains relatively uninvestigated. In this study we present the variation of percolation threshold with short-range order for popular 2D and 3D topologies. We also present how the shifted threshold can be used to model effective statistical and mechanical properties for random systems with arbitrary short-range correlations. |
