Abstract

The structural theory of short-term microdamage is generalized to a laminated composite with a microdamageable matrix and physically nonlinear reinforcement. The basis for the generalization is the stochastic elasticity equations of a laminated composite with a porous matrix. Microvolumes in the matrix material meet the Huber-Mises failure criterion. The damaged-microvolume balance equation for the matrix is derived. This equation and the equations relating macrostresses and macrostrains of a laminated composite with porous matrix and physically nonlinear reinforcement constitute a closed-form system of equations. This system describes the coupled processes of physically nonlinear deformation and microdamage occurring in different composite components. Algorithms for computing the microdamage-macrostrain relationships and deformation diagrams are developed. Uniaxial tension curves are plotted for a laminated composite with linearly hardening reinforcement
