Micromechanical Modeling of Anisotropy and Strain Rate Dependence of Short-Fiber-Reinforced Thermoplastics

The anisotropy and strain rate dependence of the mechanical response of short-fiber-reinforced thermoplastics was studied using a straightforward micromechanical finite element analysis of representative volume elements (RVEs). RVEs are created based on the fiber orientation tensor, which quantifies...
