In this paper, a new finite element formulation has been developed for analysis of heterogeneous media, in which the second phase is randomly dispersed within the matrix. It introduces a tessellation based mesh generation technique to account for the arbitrariness in location, shape and size of the second phase. An assumed stress hybrid formulation has been implemented to utilize the resulting Voronoi polygons as elements in a finite element model. The effect of the second phase has been accounted for by introducing a transformation strain based constitutive formulation. Numerical examples have been conducted to validate the model.
