Abstract

Predicting the overall, effective properties of short fiber composites with fully aligned fibers from the properties of the individual phases and the composite’s morphology has attracted a great deal of attention during the last decades. In this work, the authors focus on the overall elastic constants and use the finite‐element‐based numerical procedure developed by them to assess the adequacy of two of the most widely used micromechanics‐based models.

17. Minimization runs were conducted on the mainframestardust.ethz.chcluster of PA8600 (550 MHz) processors administrated by the Department of Mathematics at the ETH‐Zürich. Typically it took several single processor CPU hours to calculate theCikof a particular computer model.
18. The standard matrix norm is defined as ∥C∥ = √∑Cik×Cikwith the summation carried out over indicesiandkrunning from 1 to 6. As the standard matrix norm ∥ΔC∥ tends to smooth all extreme deviations in the individualCikcomponents a low standard matrix norm error ∥ΔC∥ /∥C∥ should be viewed as a necessary rather than a sufficient condition for the all round adequacy.

21. In contrast the model route predictions forCikare not accurate in principle as one relies on some assumptions. In this situation it can be often more expedient in practice to use separate independently derived formulae for αik.
