Limits, bounds<br />
• There are some circumstances under which one<br />
would like to be able to make quantitative<br />
predictions of the properties of a composite but an<br />
exact solution is not available.<br />
• Under these circumstances, it is still possible to set<br />
limits on the property. In a formal sense these<br />
limits are known as bounds because they are the<br />
result of analysis using the principles of solid<br />
mechanics. Such analysis can demonstrate that an<br />
either an upper or a lower (or both) bound exists for<br />
a given structure <strong>and</strong> loading.<br />
• An upper bound means that the value of the<br />
property cannot go any higher than a certain value<br />
<strong>and</strong> vice versa for a lower bound.
