Computional methods for fiber-reinforced composites

Computational methods for fiber-reinforced composites

This package provides several computational models for fiber-reinforced composites (thermoplastics reiforced by glass fibers, for instance).

• Compute the 4th-order fiber orientation tensor from the 2nd-order one (linear, quadratic, hybrid, orthotropic closure models...)
• Compute the effective thermomechanical properties from the microstructure definition (Mori-Tanaka, orientation averaging...)
• Compute fiber orientation tensor evolution using the Folgar-Tucker model or its variants (RSC model...)

Some notebook examples can be found in examples.

Documentation is available here.
