Abstract
A unit cell approach is used to investigate the influence of the fiber arrangement (periodic and perturbed periodic) on the thermo-mechanica l behavior of aligned short fiber reinforced MMCs. Two configurations are compared, staggered and unstaggered fibers, with the first one des cribing a more realistic composite. Whereas the global behavior of the composite is not strongly influenced by the arrangement, the local mi crostresses were found to differ significantly in the investigated arr angements. The failure behavior is considered at the microlevel via a damage indicator.
