Fiber-matrix Contact Stress Analysis for Elastic 2D Composite Solids

AbstractThis paper presents a finite element formulation for the analysis of two dimensional reinforced elastic solids developing both small and large deformations without increasing the number of degrees of freedom. Fibers are spread inside the domain without the necessity of node coincidence. Cont...
