Saleh Alsubari, Hassan Chaffoui . Homogenization of a Composite Periodic Structure in the Case of Composite Plate. International Journal of Computer Applications. 34, 1 ( November 2011), 28-33. DOI=10.5120/4064-5837
This work is consecrated to the investigation of mechanical behavior of a composite plate containing some periodic distributions and no symmetrical with regard to the average plan. The choice of this model is characterized by two important parameters: thickness of the plate and the size of the period. It is supposed that the thickness is smaller compared to the period dimension. The obtained results indicate that the homogenisation technique is able to predict the behaviour of periodic composites. The equivalent elasticity coefficients and micro-constraints were analytically calculated, then by finite elements in the basic cell level. We have shown that the complexity of numerical modelling can be solved by choosing a plan model, which gives the same results as a three-dimensional model
