MACRO MECHANICAL STUDY OF HOMOGENEOUS AND ISOTROPIC PROPERTIES OF A COMPOSITE WITH A FIBER-MATRIX INTERFACE

Abstract

Conventional materials used in their natural state can not simultaneously achieve a satisfactory levelof complex requirements so that recourse to the completion of their combinations, generically called compositematerials. They optimize the technical design of various structures, primarily based on high diversity, practicallyinexhaustible, of combinations that can be implemented. It must be added the possibility (if no use ordinarymaterials) to predict and even to "steer" a composite properties by suitable choice of nature, form andpresentation of the weight of its constituents, or through application of appropriate technological steps.
