M. Hamdi et alii, Frattura ed Integrità Strutturale, 49 (2019) 321-330; DOI: 10.3221/IGF-ESIS.49.32 327 SG but significantly oscillates near the fiber/matrix interface, indicating that HFGMC sometimes cannot well capture stress discontinuities across interfaces. In summary, Fig. 2, Fig. 3, Fig. 4 and Fig. 5 indicate that, when dehomogenizing the composite, SwiftComp and SwiftCompR are as accurate as 3D FEA but only require a 2D SG. From Fig. 2, one can notice that the stress SN11 take a lineal curve between along the yy axis -0.4 to 0.4 reaching the value cca 350 MPa. Figure 2 : Predicted distributions of SN11along the yy-axis. In Fig. 3, the stress SN22 take a parabolic shape from a value of 36.3 MPa at the distance -0.4 to reach the value of 36.4 MPa at the center. In Fig. 4, one can notice that the stress SN33 take a parabolic pace reaching the maximum at 36.56 MPa at the distance zz equal to -0.4, at the center the value of SN33 take a minimal value about of 36.44 MPa.
