Abstract
The problem of predicting the effective elastic properties of multi-cracked and/or composite materials is both fundamental in materials mechanics and of large technological impact. In this paper we develop a continuum elasticity model, based on the Eshelby theory and on the differential homogenization technique, for the effective elastic moduli of a fibro-reinforced system and we address it to elaborate an estimation of the average failure condition of such composites.Items in DSpace are protected by copyright, with all rights reserved, unless otherwise indicated.
