The elastic response for microlayered functionally graded media
Abstract
In this note microlayered composites having continuously varying macroscopic properties are considered. Such composites are referred to as the functionally graded laminates (FGL). The aim of this contribution is to derive a new averaged model describing the elastic response of the FGL, using the modified tolerance averaging technique, developed for periodic composites and structures by Woźniak and Wierzbicki (2000).
