In the present paper we have put together some results of a cluster method that allows the calculation of linear and also non-linear effective elastic constants of polycrystalline materials within an iterative self-consistent scheme. The conceptual idea consists in simulating the real material by a suitably chosen cluster of single grains. One can then determine the elastic properties of the material under study by examining the elastic behavior of the cluster. The method is capable of resolving the effect of the grain shape, that is determined by the coordination number of the grains on the effective constants.

We examine the influence of the grain shape on the effective elastic moduli of polycrystalline materials. For that purpose the real material is simulated by a cluster of Wigner-Seitz cells. For clarity each aggregate consists of grains with only one type of shape. Therefore we can classify each cluster by the coordination number of its grains. To determine the elastic moduli a homogeneous deformation is subjected to the surface of the cluster. The solution of this boundary value problem yields the average stress and strain governing inside the material whose interconnection by Hooke's law leads to the sought-for effective constants.The most important result is that with increasing coordination number the elastic moduli decrease.

A review of the mechanical properties and failure initiation and propagation in carbon/epoxy composites is presented. The results of the study of the macromechanical static characteristics, non-linear elastic behavior flexural modulus and shear properties of unidirectional composites (UDC), as well as, of tensile, compression and flexural moduli, strength analysis edge and hybrid effects in multidirectional composites (MDC) were discussed A discussion of the non-linear elastic behavior of carbon/epoxy UDC, the flexural moduli of both UDC and MDC, strength analysis and edge effects of laminates is emphasized.
