Abstract
A 3D micromechanical formulation and a FE-model of fiber micro-buckling in materials with isotropic and transversal isotropic fibers in compression is presented. Three variants of geometrical modeling of the characteristic cell are proposed and compared. An appropriate one is then selected. An eigenvalue analysis of a characteristic cell is performed. The results show that the fiber anisotropy reduces significantly the critical loads and must be taken into account.
