Computer Simulation of the Composites Structure and Properties in Loaded Constructions

Abstract

The article considers approaches to solutions to the problem concerning composite structure deformations using finite element method. The examples of composite simulations based on the material unit cells and real microstructures are shown. The results of simulations have been obtained for the concrete and reinforced concrete structural elements considering internal contact interactions between the composite matrix and the reinforcing phase.
