Fracture in Composites - An Overview (Part I)

Abstract: Abstract. An overview of the literature for the last twenty years on the fracture mechanics of unidirectional fibre reinforced polymer composites is presented. Pure mode (I, II, and III) as well as mixed mode longitudinal cracks (i.e., cracks that prolongate along the fibres) are considered mainly. It is shown that the strain energy released rate is the most widely used parameter for fracture toughness characterization. Various solutions for determination of the strain energy release rate in composites using l… Show more

“…The J-integral can be used for both elastic and plastic materials such as CFRP composites with a toughened matrix. The J-integral value is equal to the SERR, G, for the case of linear-elastic behavior [23]. An important advantage of the J-integral method is that it may also be applied for the analysis of cracks in elasticplastic materials, provided no unloading occurs.…”

“…(57) 5 The eigenvalue of −N appears denoted as b 2 in the work of Todorov [18][19][20][21];divided by the reduced mass it is proportional to the leading term in the development of the mass defect M − (m 1 + m 2 ), insofar as an isolated system is oncerned.…”

“…In the absence of external field the contact of the constraint formalism with QED is well established, through the quasi-potential approach [18][19][20][21]or by reducing the Bethe-Salpeter (BS) equation [22,23],and realistic mass-shell constraints can be exhibited, see Crater et al [24], see Sazdjian and Jallouli [25] when the mutual interaction also is of electromagnetic nature. In the presence of external field, it seems natural to perform in the same manner a reduction of the BS equation and so derive the coupled wave equations.…”
