Abstract
Effective transverse elastic moduli for fiber-reinforced composites are calculated here by a numerical homogenization approach. The effects of fiber placement (staggering) and of weak-fiber and strong-matrix composites on the effective moduli, both of which are not very effectively treated by classical methods, are specifically investigated. Comparisons with classical, analytical approaches are included.
