A model for damage coalescence in heterogeneous multi-phase materials
Abstract
Previous models for the deformation of two-phase materials with heterogeneous second phase distributions have been extended to account for damage coalescence. As in the previous work, the model is based on a self-consistent analysis and uses an incremental, tangent modulus approach. Damage coalescence is treated through a micro-crack linkage model that is sensitive to both the local volume fraction of damaged second phase particles and the …
