Abstract:

In this work, different formulations of the boundary element method (BEM) are presented for an analysis of composites containing rigid or deformable stiffeners and inclusions. The developed computer codes are used to compute effective material properties by considering a representative volume element (RVE) or a unit cell. The results computed by the proposed BEM are compared with available experimental, analytical or numerical results, shown in the literature.
