It is established that upper and lower bounds predict results far apart from each other for the effective elastic properties of semicrystalline polymers such as polyethylene. This is manly due to the high anisotropy of the elastic properties of the crystals. Composite modeling has been used to predict intermediate results between the bounds. Here, we show the details of composite modeling based on a … Show more
