Abstract
In this study, a time-dependent homogenization theory is rebuilt for periodic composite materials in which their unit cells are arranged with misalignment. As a numerical example, the transverse elastic-viscoplastic properties of unidirectional carbon fiber-reinforced plastics (unidirectional CFRPs) with misaligned cell arrangements are analyzed using the present theory. It is thus shown that the transverse elastic-viscoplastic anisotropy of the unidirectional CFRPs decreases with the increase of misalignment of the cell arrangement.
