Abstract
In a previous work, a very promising mathematical model for predicting the electrical conductivity below the electrical percolation threshold, for both isotropic and anisotropic composites, was published by Schubert. In this work, periodic boundary condition of the simulation is utilized. The results are also compared to the previous work and other theoretical models. The truncated fibers due to finite size of the simulation volume are considered as two individual pieces so that the real aspect ratios will also be taken into consideration. A comparison is made between two groups, in which the length and the radius of the carbon fibers are changed, respectively, under certain aspect ratios. With three different sizes of the simulation volumes, the influence on the results due to the finite size effect is calculated.
