✦ Synopsis

The fracture mechanics of fiber-reinforced materials differs radically from that of 'homogeneous' materials. The combination of high-strength, high-modulus, brittle fibers having significant scatter in strength levels with relatively low-strength, tow-stiffness matrices give rise to modes of internal damage and failure that do not occur in homogeneous materials. An approach to fracture analysis is proposed that gives insights into the mechanisms of failure. Predictions are compared with experimental data for a number of fiber-resin systems.

The first ply failure in composite laminates are studied by 3-D fracture mechanic approach. The fracture model is based on a crack embedded in one of the inner layers. Numeriil results for the case of "angle ply" laminates are based on a general 3-D finite difference progtam. Stress intensi~ factor
