Modeling Mechanical Fatigue of UD Composite: Multiple Fiber Breaks and Debond Growth

IOP Conference Series: Materials Science and Engineering 2009
Andrejs Pupurs, Jānis Vārna

The objective of this paper is to analyze fiber/matrix debond crack growth in unidirectional (UD) composites during high stress cyclic tension-tension loading. High stress loading means that fiber breaks and consecutive fiber/matrix interface debond growth are expected. Fracture mechanics concepts are applied to analyze damage evolution
