Mechanics of Composite Materials Aims and scope

Conclusions

  1. 1.

    Relationships have been derived for the calculation of the elastic characteristics of a unidirectional composite with anisotropic components by the cross-section method.

  2. 2.

    It has been shown that the successive application of the cross-section method leads to breakdown of the symmetry of the elastic properties of an individual element.

  3. 3.

    Averaging of the elastic characteristics obtained for an individual elements over the nodes in the 2–3 plane permits bringing the computational results closer to the properties of actual composites.

  4. 4.

    The computational results are in satisfactory agreement with the experimental data.
