Figure 4: Predicted distributions of SN33 along the zz-axis. In Fig. 5, the stress SN12 had more or less a parabolic shape, at the center the value of SN12 was 55MPa.

In Fig. 6, we have shown the stress levels (SNMises, SN11, SN22, SN33, SN12, SN13, SN23 and SNMin Principal) for pack microstructure (2D SG) by the 3D FEA method.

C ONCLUSIONS

n this paper, the accuracy and efficiency of MSG-based micromechanics approach is critically evaluated. The GMC is chosen as a reference method during efficiency evaluation. The predictions by 3D FEA are chosen as benchmarks during accuracy evaluation. Composites such as a continuous fiber-reinforced composite, a particle-reinforced composite, two discontinuous fiber-reinforced composites, and a woven composite are analyzed using SwiftComp, GMC, and 3D FEA.
