Abstract Tires are fabricated using single ply fiber reinforced composite materials, which consist of a set of aligned stiff fibers of steel material embedded in a softer matrix of rubber material. The main goal is to develop a mathematical model to determine the local stress and strain fields for this isotropic fiber and matrix separated by a linearly graded transition zone. This model will then yield expressions for the internal stress and strain fields surrounding a single fiber. The fields will be obtained when radial, axial, and shear loads are applied. The composite is then homogenized to determine its effective mechanical properties—elastic moduli, Poisson ratios, and shear moduli. The model allows for analysis of how composites interact in order to design composites which gain full advantage of their properties.

Cyclic Elastoplastic Strain

In this paper we present an analytical cum-numerical scheme, based on endochronic plasticity and the finite element formalism. The scheme is used to calculate the stress and elastoplastic strain fields in a plate loaded cyclically in its own plane along its outer edges and bearing two symmetrically disposed edge notches. One most important result that stands out is that while the external loading conditions are symmetric and periodic, the histories of stress and strain at the notch tip are neither symmetric nor periodic in character. In cyclic tension ratcheting phenomena at the tip of the notches prevail and a progressive change of the residual stress field at the notch line is shown to occur.
