On a Correspondence between Mechanical and Thermal Fields in Composites with Slipping Interfaces

  • Conference paper
Inelastic Deformation of Composite Materials

Abstract

The present paper is concerned with composites in which the constituent interfaces are weak in shear and therefore exhibit shear deformation associated with sliding. Thermomechanical loadings of such systems are considered which consist of homogeneous traction or displacement boundary conditions and a uniform temperature change on the outside surface of the composite. For binary systems with isotropic constituents, it is shown that the actual fields in the purely thermal problem can be uniquely determined from the solution of the purely mechanical problem. This correspondence relation is used to determine the effective thermal strain and stress tensors on the basis of the effective mechanical properties. For multi—phase systems with anisotropic constituents undergoing interface slip and separation, the theorem of virtual work is used to establish a similar relation between the effective thermal tensors and the mechanical concentration factors and constituent properties of the composite.
