Structure, morphology and mechanical properties of Rhectophyllum camerunense (RC) plant fiber. Part II: Computational homogenization of the anisotropic elastic properties

▸ Computational homogenization of a plant-fiber is performed. ▸ Overall anisotropic elastic properties of the fiber are computed. ▸ Computed and measured values of the longitudinal modulus are in good agreement. ▸ Coupling behavior of the fiber could be studied using the same geometry.
