Mechanics of Composite Materials. Summary of Some Theoretical and Experimental Studies (Mechanique des Materiaux Composites. Apercus de Quelques Etudes Theoriques et Experimentales),

Abstract

Theoretical and experimental studies regarding the dynamics of composite materials are presented. Various methods for evaluating elastic constants (variational calculations, airy stress functions, elastodynamics) and recent methods of calculation for multilayers in the plastic state are described. A critical study of the various theories available for the propagation of waves and vibrations in composite materials was made (equivalent homogeneous media theory, microstructure theory, mixture theory, theory based on asymptotic development, etc. In addition, some experimental research is reviewed for the calculation of elastic constants in micropolar elasticity under a static and dynamic regime.
