| Summary: | been examined. The performance of the macro element under calculated by the traditional finite element method. The defined to be an element which can account for microstructure elements. These have been compared with reference values indicates that the performance of the macro element improves predicting the effective material properties. The study also properties have been obtained using single field macro refinement. The effect of waviness ratio and tow cross results show that the macro element performs very well in section shape on the effective material properties has also stress was evaluated. subdomain integration was evaluated. A macro element is The performance of single field macro elements based on various simplifying assumptions such as plane strain or plane with increasing the interpolation order and the spatial within a single element. The effective engineering |
