Micro-mechanical analysis of the in situ effect in polymer composite laminates (2014, background): “However, in the computational analysis of composite materials, periodic RVE are often employed, assuming that the material has a deterministic and ordered distribution of fibres, mainly because this assumption leads to lower computational costs [56, 57].”
