Deformation and damage of linear elastic homogeneous and composite materials (review)

The studies on the deformation and short- and long-term damage of homogeneous and composite materials are systematized. In the case of short-term damage, a single microdamage is modeled by an empty quasispherical pore formed in place of a microvolume damaged in accordance with the Huber–Mises or Schleicher–Nadai failure criterion. The ultimate microstrength is assumed to be a random function of coordinates. In the case of long-term damage, the...
