Abstract

In this paper, stress distribution is obtained by employing the interface element to simulate the interphase feature between fiber-matrix in single-ply laminar which consists of fiber arranged periodically in the x-axis direction and matrix, and which is subjected to far-field transverse load the contour of stress σxx and radial stress στ in the vicinity of interphase are plotted for three different interphase cases. It is made known that the effect of interphase properties on stress distribution is obvious.
