Özet

In this study, the boundary element method is presented for the prediction of longitudinal modulus of aligned discontinuous fiber-reinforced composites. The details of the boundary element formulation model covering infinite friction (stick) contact conditions are given. Both fiber and matrix materials are assumed to display linear elastic material behavior. The formulation is applied to boron/epoxy discontinuous fiber-reinforced composites. The computed results show a very good agreement with the modified Cox model and the finite element analysis with experimental data.
