Abstract: | Macroscopic resistivity measurements have been performed on TiC/Al2O3 random mixtures submitted to uniaxial compression (0-95 kN). Such a random mixture exhibits an insulator-conductor transition
which appears at increasing force while decreasing the conductive composition of the TiC/Al2O3 mixture. It is demonstrated that the conductivity behavior may be understood in the framework of a site percolation model.
Finally, the rate of creation of the contacts between conductive grains is extracted from the macroscopic resistivity measurements.
