Abstract

The mechanism of the crack arrest in a composite with long fibers is analyzed by using the inclusion method. Fibers suppress a crack opening by a bridging action. Slidings along matrix-fiber interfaces result in energy dissipation. The bridging action reduces the energy release rate G for the crack extension. The energy dissipation due to sliding and interfacial debonding produces additional resistances ΔG_s and ΔG_d to the crack extension. G, ΔG_s and ΔG_d are calculated in terms of external stresses, frictional stresses, the size of a crack, the debonding length, the interface surface energy and the volume fraction of fibers.
