Abstract: This paper studies the stress redistribution in a tensile hybrid composite sheet due to the breakage of a high modulus fiber. Employing a continuous distribution of dislocations, a set of ...

Abstract: Matrix cracking is a major pattern of the failure of composite materials. A crack can form in the matrix during manufacturing, or be produced during loading. Erdogan, Gupta, and Ratwani (1974) ...

Abstract: An arc-shaped crack in fiber-reinforced composite material is the subject of this paper. A three-phase composite cylinder is taken as the material model to take into account the effect of ...

Abstract: An exact solution is given for the stress field due to an edge dislocation embedded in a three-phase composite cylinder. The force on the dislocation is then derived, from which a set of ...
