Numerical Simulation of Microcrack Toughening in Particulate Composite

Abstract
The crack tip region in an elastic composite can be divided into three different zones.The constitutive equations corresponding to these zones and the extent of the saturated damage zones are derived.The damage isotropy in the largest saturated damage zone is expressed by utilizing the Monte Carlo technique to create uniform distribution microcracks.The interaction between the main crack and microcracks can be evaluated by an alternating...
