@ Yu, Thanks for the article, however I was hoping to find a bullet-point direction on how to execute the mori-tanaka model for my research. Nonetheless, if you think I can model the elastic modulus of a hybrid epoxy composite with short fibre and near-spherical particle reinforcing phases, with any of the programs enlisted in the article, please kindly send a detailed guideline. Thanks
If you don't mind creating a finite element mesh, SwiftComp will be your choice. See https://cdmhub.org/resources/scstandard for more details and instructions. If you are familiar with one of software packages (abaqus, ansys, nastran), you can use the plugins which are also available for download from cdmHUB.
I have the student versions of abaqus and ansys with limited modeling capabilities. Please what do you propose I do? I really appreciate your prompt response.
See https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TwzCxOK3zfc&list=PLGwp8OYDfmxHUu3_dwQc6IgE69OvLaIg7. If your student version cannot even mesh the model you create, then you can always use https://cdmhub.org/resources/scstandard, which is totally free without any limitations. Tutorials and manuals are available in that link. Do some reading.
