Stress Ahead of the Tip of a Finite-Width Center-Crack in Fiber-Reinforced Composite Specimen: Subjected to Non-Linearly Distributed Bridging Stresses
Source abstract
Abstract
The force balance method (FBM) is a simple and effective way to calculate geometric correction factors for the stress distribution ahead of the tip of finite-width center crack specimen. In this paper, the accuracy and effectiveness of the FBM is shown by means of a numerical evaluation of the stress distribution ahead of the tip of finite-width center-cracked specimens subjected to nonlinearly distributed bridging stresses in fiber-reinforced composites. The finite element method is used for this purpose.
