The model developed in this paper allows the transformation of the original boundary value problem into a simpler one that is characterized by some effective elastic coefficients. These coefficients are calculated from a so-called unit cell or periodicity problem, and are shown to depend solely on the geometric and material characteristics of the unit cell and are completely independent of the global formulation of the boundary-value problem. As such, the effective elastic coefficients are universal in nature and can be used to study a wide variety of boundary value problems. The model is illustrated by means of several examples of a practical importance and it is shown that the effective properties of a given composite structure can be tailored to satisfy the requirements of a particular application by changing certain geometric parameters such as the size or relative orientation of the reinforcements. For the special case in which the reinforcements form only a two-dimensional (in-plane) network, the results converge to those of previous models obtained either by means of asymptotic homogenization or by stress-strain relationships in the reinforcements. | ISSN: | 15593959 | DOI: | 10.2140/jomms.2007.2.613 | Rights: | © Mathematical Sciences Publishers | Type: | Article | Affiliation: | Dalhousie University | Affiliation : | Dalhousie University | Publication Type: | Peer Reviewed |
