3-D finite element method for micromechanical analysis in fibrous composite material

The objective of this thesis was to study whether simplified three dimensional finite element models could be used as a micromechanical model for analysis of stresses at the fiber and matrix level while providing smeared composite properties for the global structural analysis. The mathematical model...
