Abstract
The morphology characterization and computational methods favored numerical simulation and design of microstructures. Indeed, the multiscale approaches enable us to determine the elastic properties of materials. In this paper, the objective is to develop a three-dimensional microstructure of biocomposites containing natural particles. The biocomposite is made of polypropylene matrix mixed with natural fillers. The image is obtained using the microscope. We describe a serial sectioning process and finite element simulations to reproduce, visualize and model these microstructures. Statistical methods are introduced to study the representativity of specimen. The statistical representative volume element is introduced to determine the minimum volume which provides the representativeness. This statistical volume is compared with experimental and numerical ones.
