Electromagnetic Modeling of Damaged Single-Layer Fiber-Reinforced Laminates

Computational modeling of a composite laminate made of a homogeneous planar slab wherein circular cylindrical fibers are periodically embedded is carried out when various damages affect the structure and destroy periodicity. Methods based on the Floquet theorem are inapplicable in direct manner. Supercell methodology yields a fictitious periodic structure, so as the electromagnetic field solution ...
