Abstract
In this paper, thermal expansion coefficients of fiber-reinforced composite materials are predicted by direct numerical simulation. From comparing the predicted results with experimental results, it is confirmed that direct numerical simulation gives similar results to the previously proposed methods while minimizing artificial assumptions. Additionally trend of variation in thermal expansion coefficients is investigated according to the fiber volume fraction.
