Existing data supporting or disputing the validity of the Hashin-Shtrikman bounds on the elastic properties of multiphase aggregates often do not consider porosity, elastic anisotropy, or experimental errors. In this experiment, two-phase aggregates of KCl + (NH4Br, TlBr, CsCl, NaCl, Cu, and LiF) at every 20% volume fraction were vacuum hot-pressed and the compressional and shear velocities were measured with a computer-controlled ultrasonic interferometer to +/-0.2%. The ratio of the shear moduli, μ, (phase 2/KCl) varied from about 1 to 5, producing a range of separations between the theoretical two-phase Hashin-Shtrikman bounds for the composites. Samples were generally 99% or better of the theoretical density, with less than 1% velocity anisotropy. Porosity corrections were applied assuming spherical pores, based on the observed velocity-pressure behaviour. Velocities agreed with the HS bounds calculated from the end-member single-crystal stiffnesses when anisotropy was taken into account.
The velocity data were also used to estimate the bulk modulus, K, and shear modulus of the second phase by means of the matrix method - taking the K and μ of KCl as known and calculating the moduli of the other phase assuming that the measured velocities were the two-phase Hashin-Shtrikman bounds or the Voigt-Reuss-Hill average. A narrow range of moduli estimates results only if the μ's of both phases are fairly closely matched. For μ's mismatched by a factor of 5, the theoretical uncertainty in the estimates can be 10 times larger than the experimental uncertainty. Estimates using the VRH average can lie outside the HS-based results.
