Introduction

In this lecture we are going to introduce a new micromechanics model to determine the fibrous composite effective properties in terms of properties of its individual phases. In this model a composite is represented as an assemblage of concentric cylinders. The core of this cylinder is a fibre and surrounding annulus is a matrix material. This model is called concentric cylinder assemblage (CCA) model.

In this lecture we give the introduction and back ground of this model.
