A Hygroelastic Self-consistent Model for Fiber-reinforced Composites

Abstract: Stress analyses are performed in unidirectional fiber-reinforced composites, exposed to ambient fluid, by extending a classical self-consistent model to hygroelastic solicitations. Constitutive laws are given for the macroscopic elastic properties and Coefficients of Moisture Expansion (CME) by considering a jump in moisture content between the fiber and the matrix. Inverse forms for the unknown CME of the constituent matrix are proposed. The macroscopic (ply) and local (fiber and matrix) internal stress state… Show more

“…Actually, (26) and (27) mean that the average of the mesoscopic strains or stresses is respectively identical to their macroscopic counterparts, which satisfy both the previously introduced Hill's average principles (12)- (13), that are expected to be valid within any scale transition mathematical model. While the product-based description of the behaviour of a single-heterogeneity embedded in a homogeneous material is considered, it is reasonable to regard the geometric mean as an appropriate manner to perform the volume-weighted averaging operation involved in, for instance, (24)- (25).…”

“…The connected question of predicting the macroscopic Coefficients of Thermal Expansion or the Coefficients of Moisture Expansion of such heterogeneous materials has also (in most previously cited cases) been addressed. The interested reader can refer, as an example, to [22,27] for recent advances in the field of micro-mechanical modeling about this topic.…”
