Dear All, there are two channels for you to follow our research. 

1. We started a newsletter called Thoughts on Composites Modeling on LinkedIn. Please subscribe to it to get informed about our research and ideas we want to share with the community.

2. We moved our discussion forum to github at wenbinyugroup · Discussions · GitHub as it has more features which can serve you better.

Predictions of 3D effective properties of fiber reinforced composites

The SG of fiber-reinforced composites can be represented as shown below. Let the material properties of the fiber and matrix be:

Fiber: E11 =230 GPa, E22 =15 GPa, G12=G13 =15GPa,

Matrix: E =4.0GP, ν=0.35

Fiber volume of fraction is assumed to be 60% The material properties are obtained from: “Soden, P. D., Hinton M. J. and Kaddour, A. S., Lamina properties, lay-up configurations and loading conditions for a range of fibre reinforced composite laminates. Compos. Sci. Technol., 1998, 58(7), 1011”
