228j 7 A Physical and Micromechanical Model for <strong>Semi</strong>-<strong>solid</strong> Behaviour<br />

Figure 7.4 Schematic representation of the double scale<br />

transition performed to determine the homogenized properties of<br />

(1) the inclusion (I) from the <strong>solid</strong> particles and the entrapped<br />

liquid properties, (2) the active zone (A) from the <strong>solid</strong> bonds and<br />

the non entrapped liquid properties, (3) the semi-<strong>solid</strong> (SS) from<br />

the active zone and the inclusion properties through the<br />

morphological pattern of the coated inclusion.<br />

relate boundary conditions to local strain rates. Applying the self-consistent<br />

scheme [26] to our problem illustrated on Figure 7.4, we find<br />

where<br />
