Abstract
This investigation is concentrated on the analysis of existing matrix cracks in a brittle fiber-ductile matrix composite unit cell under tensile and/or cooling loads. An analytical formula for predicting the microstresses of a unit cell is presented. Longitudinal radial cracks and penny-shaped cracks as well located orthogonal to the fiber direction are studied.
