Effect of Micro-parameters on the Macroscopic Behaviour of Ductile Fiber Reinforced Brittle Matrix Composites

by Christopher K. Y. Leung, Massachusetts Inst of Technology, Cambridge, United States,
Jeffrey Chi, Massachusetts Inst of Technology, Cambridge, United States,



Document Type: Proceeding Paper

Part of: Engineering Mechanics

Abstract:

In this paper, the modelling of crack bridging stress vs crack opening (?-?) relation of ductile fiber brittle matrix composite in terms of its microscopic parameters is described. Parametric Studies are carried out to investigate the effects of various micro-parameters on the ?-? relation. Guidelines for the choice of micro-parameters in the design of composites are then proposed.
