phenomenon. However, there is no reason to look for a single method and
complementarities between distinct modelling ways are always profitable. This paper, the
first of a set of two consecutive papers published in this volume, provides such a modelling
methods reconciliation in the case of transport phenomena acting in transversely isotropic
multi-phased materials. Microstructural Finite Element Modelling (FEM) helps supplying the …

The case of molecular diffusion is investigated and a method is proposed to predict the
effective diffusion properties of transversely isotropic composite materials. This paper is the
second one of a set of two consecutive papers published in this volume. The general
modelling strategy was devised in the first paper (Hervé-Luanco and Joannès, 2016) and
applied to the biphasic case in this one. Closed-form analytical expressions are given to
investigate fibre packing effects on the effective transverse diffusivity of any unidirectional …
