A mixed-dimensional CutFEM methodology for the simulation of fibre-reinforced composites
Abstract We develop a novel unfitted finite element solver for composite materials with quasi-1D fibrous reinforcements. The method belongs to the class of mixed-dimensional non-conforming finite element solvers. The fibres are treated as 1D structural elements that may intersect the mesh of the emb...
