Numerical analysis of the mechanicsbehavior of composites by finiteelement micromechanic method

The developments of the computational micromec hanics are characterized by the progress of the finite element computational micromechanics (FECM). This paper generalizes the achievements of FECM in the analysis of the mechanic behaviors of composites in recent decades. The models and methods of FECM are instructed, and the paper puts emphasis upon evaluating new numerical results of strength and demage of composites. Finally, the FECM application to the design of new advanced materials is prospected.
