Micro Abstract:
Woven composites find numerous applications in engineering products. Their micromechanical behavior involves complex contact behavior between fibers/matrix, debonding etc and thus warrant micromechanical investigations. Such materials can be geometrically described using computationally intensive solids or reduced structural models like beams/shells etc. This work provides an objective comparison between the two approaches in order to compare pros/cons of each modeling hierarchy.
