摘要
The fiber/matrix interaction is analyzed from the viewpoint of micro-mechanics by using the finite-element method. The effects of various parameters characterizing the free surface of the composite on the thermal stress distribution are examined. The paper aims at obtaining a better understand of the nature of stress concentrations and how these stresses contribute to the cracking which is often observed on the free surface of a fiber-reinforced composite if the temperature changes. The results indicate that it is possible to minimize the stress concentration occurring at the end of the fiber, thereby reducing the tendency of the composite to crack.
