Micro-mechanics of fiber reinforced bounded and unbounded solids: effective local and non-local thermo-elastic properties, stress concentration factors, and edge effect

Abstract

Initiation of failure in a composite specimen can be related to the non-linear elastic stress field present in constituents. More often one examines the distribution of extreme values for the stress in the elastic inclusion's coatings. Inclusion-reinforced materials are the objects of the investigations of the P-1 10 project. The early analysis work on the damage of the composites has used linear elastic mechanics so it has been less successful in applications than those to metals. So the new approaches have been created recently in composite micro-mechanics. One of these is mathematical model of multi-particle effective field method (MEFM) that has reached a level for which many practical significant problems can be solved.
