# Homogenization of Norton-Hoff fibered composites with high contrast

## TL;DR

This paper investigates the steady creep flow in fiber-reinforced viscoplastic solids with high viscosity contrast, revealing new anisotropic effects influenced by the Norton exponent.

## Contribution

It introduces a novel analysis of how high viscosity contrast affects the homogenization and anisotropic behavior in Norton-Hoff fibered composites.

## Key findings

- Identification of new anisotropic effects due to high contrast
- Influence of Norton exponent on flow behavior
- Enhanced understanding of composite creep flow

## Abstract

We study the steady creep flow of a perfectly viscoplastic solid reinforced by fibers with high viscosity contrast. Our study unveils new effects related to anisotropy and conditioned by the Norton exponent.
