This paper proposes a micromechanical approach aimed at identifying the response of unidirectional fuzzy fiber composites undergoing inelastic fields. Fuzzy fibers are reinforcement fibers coated with radially aligned straight or wavy carbon nanotubes grown through chemical deposition process (PVD or CVD). Due to this nature, the composite with fuzzy fibers is described by three scales: i) the microscale consisting of carbon nanotubes and their surrounding matrix, ii) the mesoscale containing the fiber, the nanocomposite and the matrix, and iii) the macroscale related to the overall fuzzy fiber composite. The developed framework considers for the mesoscopic scale an analytical formulation, based on the composite cylinders assemblage (CCA) method, combining the principles of the Transformation Field Analysis (TFA) technique. A numerical example that includes comparisons with full field homogenization strategies confirms the accuracy of the framework to predict the overall response, as well as the average local fields of the constituents.
