Damage modelling of discontinuous composites using a micromechanics approach

摘要

This paper deals with the way of taking into account damage in the behaviour law which will be used in design, using a micro-macro relationship. We will focus only on discontinuous reinforced composite. The laminates with long continuous fibres are not studied here. The type of reinforcement could be particulates, short fibres, plates, which are randomly oriented in the matrix. The matrix could be in polymer, in metal.
