N2 - A novel method is presented for evaluating the effective (isotropic) elastic properties of heterogeneous, microporous or microcracked materials with random structure. The approach can be viewed as an extension of the classical Maxwell methodology. It is based on the idea that the effective properties of the material can be deduced from the effects that a cluster of inhomogeneities embedded in an infinite medium has on the far-fields; the inhomogeneities, pores or cracks, can be of arbitrary shapes, sizes, and properties.
