Rl. Salganik et Va. Gotlib, MODELING THE DELAYED FRACTURE CONTROLLED CRAZING IN A FIBER-COMPOSITE, International journal of fracture, 87(3), 1997, pp. 71-76
A model of steady-state propagation of a craze in a unidirectional fib
er reinforced composite loaded by a constant stress suddenly applied a
long the composite fibers is treated assuming that the mechanism of th
is phenomenon is the delayed fracture of the composite matrix. An illu
strative example is presented for the composite whose matrix and fiber
s are made of glass and of ceramics respectively.
