Influence of Unit Cell Size and Fiber Packing on the Transverse Tensile Response of Fiber Reinforced Composites
Representative volume elements (RVEs) are commonly used to compute the effective elastic properties of solid media having repeating microstructure, such as fiber reinforced composites. However, for softening materials, an RVE could be problematic due to localization of deformation. Here, we address...
