Abstract
Within the framework of three-dimensional linear micropolar media, the Asymptotic Homogenization Method (AHM) has been recently applied to obtain the effective engineering moduli for a laminated composite with imperfect contact between the layers. The imperfect contact is prescribed by using a micropolar spring-type interface model, and the interface parameters enter the engineering constants related to the stiffness and torque. In this work, we obtain the concentration tensors linking the macroscopic averaged quantities (stress/couple-stress and strain/curvature) with their microscopic counterparts. A numerical example is proposed to illustrate the influence of the phases volume fraction and of the interface parameters on the strain/curvature and stress/couple-stress concentrations.
期刊介绍:
The past few decades have seen outstanding advances in the use of composite materials in structural applications. There can be little doubt that, within engineering circles, composites have revolutionised traditional design concepts and made possible an unparalleled range of new and exciting possibilities as viable materials for construction. Composite Structures, an International Journal, disseminates knowledge between users, manufacturers, designers and researchers involved in structures or structural components manufactured using composite materials.
The journal publishes papers which contribute to knowledge in the use of composite materials in engineering structures. Papers deal with design, research and development studies, experimental investigations, theoretical analysis and fabrication techniques relevant to the application of composites in load-bearing components for assemblies, ranging from individual components such as plates and shells to complete composite structures.
