“…Based on Eshelby's equivalent inclusion theory, a new meso-mechanical analysis method was adopted to investigate the partial debonding of inclusions (particles or fibers) (e.g. Chen et al, 2008Chen et al, , 2010Lee, 2000, 2001;Ju and Sun, 1999;Ju et al, 2006;Liu et al, 2004;Paulino et al, 2006Paulino et al, , 2008Sun and Ju, 2004;Sun et al, 2003Sun et al, , 2010Wong and Ait-Kadi, 1997;Zhao and Weng, 1997). Because the partially debonded inclusions could partially transverse stress, those inclusions could be approximately considered as anisotropic ones, and thus the Eshleby's theory is still valid for analyzing the overall mechanical properties of composites.…”
