Abstract
The present work deals with the estimation of the linear viscoelastic effective properties for composites with periodic structure and rectangular cross-section fibers, using the two-scale asymptotic homogenization method (AHM). As a particular case, the effective properties for a layered medium with transversely isotropic properties are obtained. Two times the homogenization method, in different directions, according to the geometrical configuration of the composite material is applied for deriving the analytical expressions of the viscoelastic effective properties for a composite material with rectangular cross-section fibers, periodically distributed along one axis. In addition to that, models with different creep kernels, in particular, the Rabotnov’s kernel are analyzed. Finally, the numerical computation of the effective viscoelastic properties is developed for the analysis of the results. Moreover, a numerical algorithm using FEM is developed in the present work. Comparisons with other approaches are given as a validation of the present model.
