Computational model of spalling and effective fibers on toughening in fiber reinforced composites at an early stage of crack formation

This work suggests a computational model that takes account of effective fibers on toughening in FRC at an early stage of crack formation. We derived the distribution of pressure provoked by a random inclined fiber in the matrix and calculated stresses through integrating the pressure and tangent st...
