On the effective elastic properties based on mean-field homogenization of sheet molding compound composites

Fiber reinforced polymers, for example sheet molding compounds (SMC), have gained significant importance as lightweight materials. In this work, a SMC composite based on unsaturated polyester-polyurethane hybrid resin (UPPH) reinforced with discontinuous long glass fibers is considered. The mechanic...
