Mechanical Modeling of Short Fiber Reinforced Composites Using the Extended Finite Element Method
This dissertation presents a computational framework for the formulation and implementation of an Extended Finite Element Method (XFEM) for random short fiber reinforced composite materials. XFEM is used to eliminate the need to resolve random fiber inclusions and the need to conform the mesh of the...
