• Summary:The transverse strengthening behavior of fiber-reinforced metal matrix composites is
  
  numerically investigated on the basis of micromechanics analysis. Periodic boundary
  
  condition is developed and employed in calculations for considering arbitrary
  
  loading directions without changing the configuration of the unit cell. The
  
  symmetric boundary condition will be naturally attained if the loading is along the
  
  symmetric directions of the unit cell if any. Effects of the volume fraction and
  
  several more general fiber arrangements on the transverse strengthening of
  
  composites are discussed in detail, including single and/or multi-fibers
  
  simulations, from which the maps of the strengthening responses in various
  
  directions of the composites are obtained. It is concluded that the effect of fiber
  
  volume fraction is significantly different in various directions, the maximum
  
  strengthening of composites does not always occur in 0° and/or 90° directions
  
  whereas the minimum strengthening is always in 45° direction, and the strengthening
  
  of composites has a period of 90° which are independent of fiber arrangements.
