Abstract
Failure of fiber-reinforced composites under variable repeated loads is investigated by means of shakedown theory and using a two-scale approach: On the microscopic scale, shakedown analysis is carried out in order to study the influence of each component (matrix, fiber and interface) on the behavior of the composite under variable repeated loads. Then, using the concept of averaging techniques overall properties of the composite can be predicted under the assumption of periodicity on the macroscopic scale. The irreversible material features taken into account in this paper are plasticity, material damage related to the matrix material and debonding effects.
