Abstract
Dynamic crack propagation routes in composites were investigated using numerical methods. The interfacial strength was characterized by means of the interfacial nodal constrained failure. Five different microβdamage modes around a broken fiber and the corresponding stress/strain curves were obtained with the interfacial strength increasing. It was proved that the shear stress concentration region appears to be different as the interface varying from weak to strong and that the recovery of fiber loadβsupporting with a strong interface is better than that with a weak interface. Experimental work has been done and the available results agree well with corresponding simulation results.

The use of aluminum as matrix material for continuous fiber reinforced composites has been investigated for over 20 years, with varying degree of success: industrial applications of these materials remain very limited. This paper describes the development of a practical method of producing near net
## Abstract Interfacial adhesion between fiber and matrix has a strong influence on composite mechanical performance: better interfacial adhesion can enhance composite transverse properties, flexural properties, and interlaminar shear strength, and so on. To exploit the reinforcement potential of t
The influence of matrix degradation on fiber-mode mechanical properties of unidirectional composites is considered. In this case the strength of the composite reduces to the strength of a bundle of fibers. The longitudinal Young's modulus is evaluated as a nonlinear function of applied stress. In th
