Abstract

The theory of microdamageability of fibrous materials with transversely isotropic fibers is stated with account taken of the thermal effect. Microdamages in the isotropic matrix are simulated by pores empty or filled with particles of damaged material that resist compression. The fracture criterion for a microvolume of the matrix is assumed to have the Nadai–Schleicher form, which takes into account the difference between the tensile and compressive ultimate loads, with the ultimate strength being a random function of coordinates with a power or Weibull distribution. The stress–strain state and the effective properties of the material are determined from the thermoelastic equations for fibrous materials with a porous matrix. The deformation and microdamage equations are closed by the equations of porosity balance corrected for the thermal effect. For various types of loading, nonlinear relations are derived for the coupled processes of deformation of a fibrous material and microdamage of the matrix due to the thermal macrostrain. The effect of physical and geometrical parameters on these processes is studied.
