Our approach is based on the Generalized Differential Effective Medium (GDEM) method. This method generalizes the classical differential scheme (DEM) for the case of several inclusion types instead of one. In this case, the GDEM scheme leads to a system of matrix differential equations that were solved numerically. This solution was obtained for materials containing spherical or cylindrical inclusions (3D and 2D-problems). In the case of cylindrical inclusions, the results were obtained for inclusions with the symmetry axes orthogonal to the magnetic field.

The screening effect of the cylinder free surface on the elastic fields and the strain energies of the DD and the CyI is discussed. It is shown that this effect is significant for both the axial displacement and stress fields when the DD and CyI radii are comparable with the cylinder radius, however it is rather weak for the DD strain energy (the energy release does not exceed ∼10%). In contrast, for the CyI strain energy, the screening effect can be very strong.

For nonlinear models, the parameters are estimated using an optimization algorithm that minimizes an objective function. Assessing the certainty of these parameter estimates is crucial to address questions such as “what is the probability the estimation error is smaller than 5%?”, “is our experiment sensitive enough to estimate all parameters?”, and “how much can we change each parameter while still fitting the data accurately?”. Typically, the certainty levels are quantified using a linear approximation of the model. However, we show that in models that are highly nonlinear in their parameters or in the presence of large experimental errors, this method fails to capture the certainty levels accurately. To address these limitations, we present an alternative method based on the Hessian approximation of the objective function. We show that this method captures the certainty levels more accurately and can be derived geometrically. We demonstrate the efficacy of our approach through a case study involving a nonlinear hyperelastic material constitutive model and an application on a nonlinear model for the conductivity of electrolyte solutions.
