Int. J. Solids Struct. 32, No. 6-7, 783-794 (1995).

Summary: We homogenize a plain weave composite using convergence results developed for periodic functions. The two-scale convergence scheme is discussed and its results are applied to the elasticity problem of modeling composite weaves. Numerical implementation is discussed, and parameter studies are given.
