Exact size-dependent connections between effective moduli of fibrous piezoelectric nanocomposites with interface effects
We consider the macroscopic behavior of two-phase fibrous piezoelectric composites. The fibers are of circular cross-section with the same radius. Along the interfaces between the fibers and the matrix we cons...
