Abstract

The current work demonstrates a numerical approach to spatially random short fibre composite materials based on the concept of Representative Volume Elements (RVE) in order to obtain the mechanical properties of Random Short Fibre Composites (RaFC). Mechanical characterization of RaFC is of high importance for lightweight structural applications due to their relatively high performance and low cost of production. A two phase heterogeneous material was created and analysed through a RVE approach and Finite Element Analysis (FEA) was implemented. A homogenisation method was applied in order to obtain the micromechanical parameters of homogeneous-equivalent analyses in a bulk composite. RVE size was affirmed by a statistical analysis.
