Effect of Water on Mechanical Properties of Coal Measures Mudstone Using Nanoindentation by Wenshuai Li, Bangyou Jiang, Shitan Gu

“…Microscale measurements are upscaled to estimate the corresponding magnitudes at the macroscale using the Mori-Tanaka method. The results showed that the indentation modulus varied significantly, from as low as 0.2 GPa to a quite high value of 125 GPa, indicating a strongly heterogeneous distribution of mudstone. …”

A Numerical Model to Predict the Anisotropy of Polymer Composites Reinforced with High-Aspect-Ratio Short Aramid Fibers by Jianhong Gao, Xiaoxiang Yang, Lihong Huang

“…The elastic constants were obtained, and, for different alignment angles and parameters in the fiber orientation distribution function, their numerical results were compared to those of the Mori–Tanaka model. Good agreement was obtained; thus, the employed FE model is an excellent and simple method to predict the isotropy and anisotropy of a composite with high-aspect-ratio fibers. …”
