Abstract
A new failure process simulation model of unidirectional fiber reinforced composite materials is introduced considering the effect of matrix shear failure as well as fiber breaks based on a shear — lag theory in which a failure can occur randomly not only in fiber elements but also in matrix elements. A stochastic static tensile failure process of unidirectional composite materials is simulated by means of a Monte Carlo method based on a repeated increment scheme using a finite difference technique.
