TY - CONF A1 - Marotzke, Christian T1 - Fracture on microscale of fiber reinforced composites N2 - Failure of composite materials is initiated by fracture processes on microscale, especially by interfacial debonding. Failure processes taking place on microscale are studied by single fiber experiments. This is, single fibers embedded in tensile specimen are loaded under various off-axis angles. Starting at microdefects interface cracks propagate circumferentially as well as longitudinally, depending on the loading angle. In addition, finite element simulations of interfacial crack propagation around single fibers as well as fibers embedded in a hexagonal composite are shown based on linear elastic fracture mechanics. The course of the energy release rate is given in dependence of the fiber volume fraction.

A1 - Bruno, Giovanni T1 - Explaining Deviatoric Residual Stresses in Aluminum Matrix Composites with Complex Microstructure N2 - The residual stresses in multiphase metal Matrix composites with both random planar-oriented short fibers and particles were studied by neutron diffraction and by a model based on the reformulation of classic Maxwell’s homogenization method. Contrary to common understanding and state-of-the-art models, we experimentally observed that randomly oriented phases possess non-hydrostatic residual stress. The recently developed modeling Approach allows calculating the residual stress in all phases of the composites. It rationalizes the presence of deviatoric stresses Accounting for the interaction of random oriented phases with fibers having preferential orientation.

This makes their quantitative modeling challenging, and one often resorts to empirical relations containing Fitting Parameters and having somewhat uncertain range of applicability. We review the substantial progress made in modeling of “irregular” microstructures that does not seem to have been sufficiently utilized in the context of ceramics. We discuss the possibilities offered by micromechanics in developing microstructure–property relations for porous microcracked ceramics. After an overview of relevant micromechanics topics, we focus on several issues of specific interest for ceramics: nonlinear stress–strain behavior, effective elastic properties, and thermally induced microcracking. We discuss extraction of microscale Parameters (such as strength of the intergranular cohesion, density of cracks and pores, etc.) from macroscopic data and identify the extent of uncertainty in this process. We also argue that there is no quantitative correlation between fracturing process and the loss of elastic stiffness.
