On the mechanical behaviour of fiber-reinforced composites

In this paper, the derivation of the state potential is presented to model the mechanical behavior of fiber-reinforced composites. It allows matrix-cracking, interfacial debonding and sliding to be accounted for in the framework of Continuum Damage Mechanics. An application is performed on a unidire...

Description
Summary:In this paper, the derivation of the state potential is presented to model the mechanical behavior of fiber-reinforced composites. It allows matrix-cracking, interfacial debonding and sliding to be accounted for in the framework of Continuum Damage Mechanics. An application is performed on a unidirectional SiC/SiC composite.
