Attention has been focused recently on the interphase in continuous, unidirectional fiber-reinforced composites. In this study, the interphase region is modeled as a non-homogeneous, orthotropic material with continuously varying properties. A previously proposed solution method is used to determine the local stress fields in the constituents - the fiber, interphase and matrix - and the results are presented.

Reinforced Composite

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.

Failure Theories

Structural integrity of composite materials is governed by failure mechanisms that initiate at the scale of the microstructure. The local stress fields evolve with the progression of the failure mechanisms. Within the full span from initiation to criticality of the failure mechanisms, the governing length scales in a fibre-reinforced composite change from the fibre size to the characteristic fibre-architecture sizes, and eventually to a structural size, depending on the composite configuration and structural geometry as well as the imposed loading environment. Thus, a physical modelling of failure in composites must necessarily be of multi-scale nature, although not always with the same hierarchy for each failure mode. With this background, the paper examines the currently available main composite failure theories to assess their ability to capture the essential features of failure. A case is made for an alternative in the form of physical modelling and its skeleton is constructed based on physical observations and systematic analysis of the basic failure modes and associated stress fields and energy balances. This article is part of the themed issue ‘Multiscale modelling of the structural integrity of composite materials’.

Kinetic Concept

Abstract Based on the Zhurkov’s kinetic concept of solids’ fracture a local internal stress estimation method is introduced. Stress field is computed from the time series of acoustic emission intervals between successive signals. For the case of two structurally different materials the time evolution of these stresses is examined. It is shown that temporal changes of these stresses’ accumulation law may serve as a precursor of incoming macroscopic fracture.
