Abstract
The elastic stress fields in a polymeric material containing two circular inclusions under uniaxial loading conditions are calculated using TEXGAP-3D finite element computer code. In the finite element model two boundary layers between the inclusion and the binder are included. In the analysis it is assumed that the moduli of the inclusion and the binder are different and they have three different distributions in the boundary layers. Particular attention is focused on the stress distribution at the interface between the inclusion and the boundary layer. In addition, the effects of the size and the location of the void, which is in the boundary layer, on the local stresses between the inclusion and the boundary layer, are studied and the role played by the local stresses on the growth of the void is discussed.
