Predicting fatigue damage in interphase of short fiber reinforced rubber composites under transverse load

A computational model has been established for analyzing the interphase damage of short fiber reinforced rubber composites (SFRCs) under transverse static and fatigue tensile loads. A cohesive zone model was integrated with a stress‐based fatigue damage model to simulate the damage initiation and propagation. To obtain the damage model parameters and validate the methodology, some tests of SFRCs under static and fatigue tensile loads were...
