A model to predict the increase in critical flaw size or stable crack growth potential which can occur by the inclusion of ductile fibers in a brittle matrix is considered. The model is based upon the superposition of two known stress intensity solutions; one for the crack opening mode resulting fro

โฆ Synopsis
Almtract-A new model for composite fracture termed the fiber bridging model is introduced. In light of the proposed fiber bridging model, an expression for the stress intensity factor for brittle matrix composites is derived. Through this method, the strengthening ability of the fibers, which is mainly influenced by the Young's modulus ratio a( = E,/E,,,), and the fiber volume fraction, V,, is investigated.

Matrix fracture-in brittle-matrix fiber composites is analyzed for composites that exhibit multiple matrix cracking prior to fiber failure and have purefy frictional bonding bctwecn the fibers and matrix. The stress for matrix cracking is evaluated using a stress intensity approach, in which the inf
The effect of interfacial friction on the use of the J-integral for calculating the toughness of a brittle-fibre reinforced composite has been examined. A simple micro-mechanical model that includes friction as the only dissipative mechanism yields a lower bound on the toughness. When the same const
