The mechanical properties of such composites depend strongly on micro-structural parameters. This paper presents a new boundary element method （BEM） for numerical analysis of the mechanical properties of 3-D fiberreinforced composites. Acceleration of the BEM is achieved by means of a fast multipole method （FMM）, in allowing large scale simulations of a finite elastic domain containing up to 100 elastic fibers to be performed on one personal computer. The maximum number of degrees of freedom can reach a value of over 250 000. The effects of several key micro-structural parameters on the local stress fields and on the effective elastic moduli of fiber-reinforced composites are evaluated. The numerical results are compared with analytical predictions and good agreement is observed. The results show that the fast multipole BEM could be a promising tool for further understanding of the mechanical behavior of such composites.展开更多

Both the computational complexity and memory requirement are reduced to O（N）, where N is the number of degrees of freedom. The effective elastic moduli of a 2-D solid containing thousands of randomly distributed microcracks were evaluated using the FM-BEM. The results prove that both the differential method and the method proposed by Feng and Yu provide satisfactory estimates to such problems. The effect of a non-uniform distribution of microcracks has been studied using a novel model. The numerical results show that the non-uniform distribution induces a small increase in the global stiffness.展开更多
