Failure processes in elastic fiber bundles
TL;DR: The fiber bundle model as mentioned in this paper describes a collection of elastic fibers under load, where the fibers fail successively and, for each failure, the load distribution among the surviving fibers changes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Strength and reliability of fiber-reinforced composites: Localized load-sharing and associated size effects
TL;DR: In this article, a 3D lattice Green's function model is used to calculate the stress field, damage evolution, and failure in composites under local load sharing (LLS) conditions in which the stress from broken fibers is transferred predominantly to the nearby unbroken fibers.
Journal ArticleDOI
Micromechanical simulation of the failure of fiber reinforced composites
TL;DR: In this article, the strength of unidirectionally reinforced fiber composites is simulated using the three dimensional shear lag model of Landis, C. M., McGlockton, M. A. and McMeeking, R. M. The model predicts the tensile strength of well bonded, elastic fiber/matrix systems with fibers arranged in a square array.

Stochastic Damage Evolution and Failure in Fiber-Reinforced Composites
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe the stochastic damage evolution and failure in fiber-reinforced composites, and the in situ fiber strength and fracture mirrors are elaborated.

Failure of fiber composites: A lattice Green function model
S.J. Zhou,William A. Curtin +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a new numerical technique for investigating the failure of fiber reinforced composites is presented, which utilizes 3D lattice Green's functions to calculate load transfer from broken to unbroken fibers, and also includes the important effects of fiber/matrix sliding.

The elasticity and strength of paper and other fibrous materials
TL;DR: In this paper, an analysis of the effect of orientation of the fibres on the stiffness and strength of paper and other fibrous materials is made, and the results of the analysis are applied to certain samples of resin bonded fibrous filled materials and moderately good agreement with experimental results is found.

Elastic solids with many cracks: A simple method of analysis
TL;DR: In this paper, a simple method of stress analysis in elastic solids with many cracks is proposed, based on the superposition technique and the ideas of self-consistency applied to the average tractions on individual cracks.

Local Stress Concentrations in Imperfect Filamentary Composite Materials
John M. Hedgepeth,Peter Van Dyke +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present solutions for two stress distribution problems which result from breaking of the filaments in a composite material composed of high modulus elements embedded in a low modulus matrix.

The Chain-of-Bundles Probability Model For the Strength of Fibrous Materials I: Analysis and Conjectures
D. Gary Harlow,S. Leigh Phoenix +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, two load sharing rules for failed and non-failed fibers in a bundle are considered for the strength of fibrous materials and several conjectures and key questions about the behavior of the strength are generated.

The Chain-of-Bundles Probability Model for the Strength of Fibrous Materials II: A Numerical Study of Convergence
TL;DR: In this article, a thorough numerical investigation is conducted for the chain-of-bundles probability model and strong numerical evidence of convergence is presented in support of a weakest link transformation for scal ing to large fibrous materials.
