Calculation of effective transverse elastic moduli of fiber-reinforced composites by numerical homogenization Calculation of effective transverse elastic moduli of fiber-reinforced composites by numerical homogenization Peer-Reviewed Journal Publication Δημοσίευση σε Περιοδικό με Κριτές 2015-10-111997enEffective transverse elastic moduli for fiber-reinforced composites are calculated here by a numerical homogenization approach. The effects of fiber placement (staggering) and of weak-fiber and strong-matrix composites on the effective moduli, both of which are not very effectively treated by classical methods, are specifically investigated. Comparisons with classical, analytical approaches are included.http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/Composites science and technology557573–586 Stavroulakis Georgios Σταυρουλακης Γεωργιος Pericles S.
