    Micromechanics examines the interaction between constituent materials in a composite at a microscopic level, while macromechanics treats the composite as a homogeneous material. The objective of micromechanics is to determine the elastic properties and strengths of a composite based on the properties of its fibers and matrix. Micromechanics studies the representative volume element, the smallest region that captures the fiber-matrix proportions and allows macroscopically uniform but microscopically non-uniform stresses and strains. Approaches include mechanics of materials, elasticity theories, and models like the rule of mixtures and Halpin-Tsai model.

    Micromechanics of Composite Material

    Prepared by: Kalariya Yagnik (ME13M1009) Guided by: Dr. Ramji M.

    Indian Institute of Technology Hyderabad

    Micromechanics :
    Composite material is considered as heterogeneous material Interaction of the constituent materials is examined

    Macromechanics :
    Composite material is assumed homogeneous Effects of the constituent materials are detected only as averaged apparent properties of the composite material

    What is Micromechanics of Composites?

    Approaches to Micromechanics
    Mechanics of Materials
    Embodies the usual concept of vastly simplifying assumptions regarding the hypothesized behaviour of the mechanical system

    Elasticity
    Bounding principles Exact solutions Approximate solutions All are characterized by more rigorous satisfaction of physical laws than in Mechanics of Materials

    Objective of Micromechanics
    To determine the elastic moduli or stiffness of a composite material in terms of the elastic moduli of the constituent materials To determine the strengths of the composite material in terms of the strengths of the constituent materials

    Basic Restrictions of the Composite Materials


    The lamina is
    Initially stress-free Linearly elastic Macroscopically homogenous Macroscopically orthotropics

    The fibers are


    Homogenous Linearly elastic Isotropic Regularly spapced Perfectly aligned Perfectly bonded

    The matrix is
    Homogenous Linearly elastic Isotropic Void-free

    Simply Micromechanics is
    Study about the representative volume element that is the smallest region of material over which the stresses and strains can be regarded as macroscopically uniform Yet the volume still has the correct proportions of fiber and matrix Microscopically however the stresses and strains are nonuniform because of the heterogeneity of the material

    Rule of Mixture

    Halpin Tsai Model
