Book Part Citation - WoS: 3Citation - Scopus: 4Design and Optimization of Fiber Composites(Elsevier, 2017) Aydın, Levent; Artem, Hatice SeçilIn engineering, design, and optimization processes are very important issues to establish sustainable engineering systems. Compared to isotropic materials, it is necessary to deal with more complicated mathematical models that address the material anisotropy for fiber-reinforced composites. Due to the unique characteristics of fiber-reinforced composite materials such as different directional properties, interlaminar stresses, less notch sensitivity, and having positive and negative coefficients of thermal expansion, they require more material constants for characterization of the hygrothermomechanical responses. Therefore, the design process of composites for the effort required or the benefit desired has to be systematic, which includes innovative approaches to synthesize alternative solutions. In this regard, the main goal of all such attempt is relevant to reach minimizing the effort required or to maximize the desired benefit.Book Part Citation - WoS: 4Citation - Scopus: 4Mechanics of Fiber Composites(Elsevier, 2017) Aydın, Levent; Artem, Hatice Seçil; Öterkuş, Erkan; Gündoğdu, Ömer; Akbulut, HamitThe objective of this chapter is to emphasize the context in which the mechanics of fiber composites is examined. Constitutive equations describing the stress-strain relations, micromechanics and acromechanics approaches for mechanical analysis are reviewed. Since interfacial mechanics of composites is of primary importance in discussing the material behavior, this concept is also presented with its constitutive and governing equations. Finally, at the end of the chapter, strength failure theories for orthotropic materials and dynamic behavior of composites are discussed.
