Abstract
We study the effective properties of a linear elastic or perfectly viscoplastic composite consisting of a soft matrix reinforced by possibly very stiff fibers. The effective material is characterized by the emergence of a discrepancy between the displacement in the fibers and the overall averaged displacement, giving rise to a concentration strain in the matrix. The effective energy stored in the fibers is a combination of stretching, bending and torsional energies. This work completes and corrects results previously obtained by the author and coworkers, who failed to notice the torsional contribution.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Elasticity was founded in 1971 by Marvin Stippes (1922-1979), with its main purpose being to report original and significant discoveries in elasticity. The Journal has broadened in scope over the years to include original contributions in the physical and mathematical science of solids. The areas of rational mechanics, mechanics of materials, including theories of soft materials, biomechanics, and engineering sciences that contribute to fundamental advancements in understanding and predicting the complex behavior of solids are particularly welcomed. The role of elasticity in all such behavior is well recognized and reporting significant discoveries in elasticity remains important to the Journal, as is its relation to thermal and mass transport, electromagnetism, and chemical reactions. Fundamental research that applies the concepts of physics and elements of applied mathematical science is of particular interest. Original research contributions will appear as either full research papers or research notes. Well-documented historical essays and reviews also are welcomed. Materials that will prove effective in teaching will appear as classroom notes. Computational and/or experimental investigations that emphasize relationships to the modeling of the novel physical behavior of solids at all scales are of interest. Guidance principles for content are to be found in the current interests of the Editorial Board.
