Representative volume elements for discontinuous carbon fibre composites – Part 1: Boundary conditions
TL;DR: In this paper, an embedded element approach is used to simplify mesh generation for the matrix phase, which yields errors of 1% compared with a more conventional unstructured mesh, whilst offering significant reductions in model size.

Representative volume element for composites reinforced by spatially randomly distributed discontinuous fibers and its applications
TL;DR: In this paper, the fiber growth method was used to generate representative volume element (RVE) with spatially randomly distributed discontinuous fibers and with a relatively high fiber volume fraction ( ∼ 25%).

Micro X-ray computed tomography image-based two-scale homogenisation of ultra high performance fibre reinforced concrete
TL;DR: In this article, a two-scale analytical-numerical homogenization approach is developed to predict effective elastic properties of ultra high performance fiber reinforced concrete considering distribution of pore sizes acquired from 3D micro X-ray computed tomography (μXCT) images of 24.8μm resolution.

Development of an RVE and its stiffness predictions based on mathematical homogenization theory for short fibre composites
TL;DR: In this paper, an attempt is made to generate the microstructure of short fiber composites through representative volume element (RVE) approach and then analyzed using mathematical theory of homogenization with periodic boundary conditions to estimate the homogenized or effective material properties.

TL;DR: In this paper, a method of calculating the average internal stress in the matrix of a material containing inclusions with transformation strain is presented. But the authors do not consider the effects of the interaction among the inclusions and of the presence of the free boundary.

A new approach to the application of Mori-Tanaka's theory in composite materials
TL;DR: In this paper, a reconsideration and reformulation of the Mori-Tanaka's theory in its application to the computation of the effective properties of composites is presented, which is a straightforward exposition and interpretation of the method which are different than those existing in previous formulations.
