MICROPOLAR ELASTIC MULTI-LAMINATE COMPOSITES AND THE BIOINSPIRED INTEGRATION FOR ENHANCED BONE RECONSTRUCTION

Abstract

The two-scale asymptotic homogenization method is applied to find the effective properties of periodic laminated Cosserat media with centro-symmetric phase constituents. Both perfect and imperfect interface contact conditions are considered. Imperfect interfaces are defined when tractions and normal stress are continuous but displacements and microrotations are discontinuous across the interface between phases.
