Title: Modeling of the overall elastic behavior of a transversely isotropic material reinforced with arbitrarily oriented transversely isotropic platelets
Abstract: The paper focuses on the calculation of the overall elastic properties of a transversely isotropic material reinforced with arbitrarily oriented platelets. We first propose a new methodology to estimate the contribution of a single arbitrarily oriented strongly oblate spheroidal inhomogeneity embedded in a transversely isotropic matrix, into overall elastic compliance. Then, this result is used to calculate the overall elastic properties by non-interaction approximation and Maxwell homogenization scheme. We compare our results with experimental data on dense biological tissue - hydroxyapatite platelets embedded in transversely isotropic collagen matrix.
