β¦ Synopsis
The elastic moduli of short fibre polyamide reinforced with different contents of glass fibres were computed by means of a numerical model. The analyses were based on the reconstructions of the internal fibre structure obtained by micro tomography using synchrotron light. The reconstructed volumes were used in a Cell Method micromechanical model in order to simulate the local tensile behaviour of the specimens.

## Abstract The Mechanical properties of injection molded and compression molded graphite fiberβreinforced polypropylenes are discussed. In general, the tensile properties of polypropylene are significantly improved by reinforcement with graphite fibers and to a greater extent than achieved by glas
The objective of the present article is to apply the technique of asymptotic homogenization to explicitly determine both local and overall elastic properties of unidirectional (UD) metal-matrix composites (MMCs). In this approach, the complex potentials of Muskhelishvili have been used to formulate
