Abstract

In order to reduce costs of experimental research, new methods of forecasting material properties are being developed. The current intensive increase in computing power motivates to develop the computer simulations for material properties prediction. This is due to the possibility of using analytical and numerical methods of homogenization. In this work calculations for predicting the properties of WPC composites using analytical homogenization methods, i.e. Mori-Tanaka (first and second order) models, Nemat-Nasser and Hori models and numerical homogenization methods were performed.
