Diffusivity of saturated ordinary Portland cement-based materials: A critical review of experimental and analytical modelling approaches (2016, methodology): “In particular, they use interaction direct derivative (IDD) estimates (Zheng and Du [164], which is the same as Maxwell's approximation for spherical inclusions) to compute the De and a multi-coated sphere model proposed by Milton [161] to estimate the diffusivity of hardened cement paste (see Secti”
Homogenization methods for multi-phase elastic composites: Comparisons and benchmarks (2010, methodology): “(Zheng and Du, 2001; Du and Zheng, 2002) show results for void distribution, although the formulation is also valid for spherical inclusions.”
A unified scheme for prediction of effective moduli of multiphase composites with interface effects. Part I: Theoretical framework (2007, methodology): “Zheng and Du (2001) have also emphasized this and proposed an effective self-consistent method (ESCM) which is also based on a three-phase model.”
