Estimating the Equivalent Initial Crack Size in a Particulate Composite Material Under a Multi-Axial Loading Condition
Abstract
In this study, the equivalent initial crack size, a*, in a particulate composite material under a multi-axial loading condition was predicted. The predicted a* compares well with the experimentally estimated one. And, the statistical distribution function of a* follows the Second Asymptotic Distribution of the Maximum Value.
