Micromechanical model for fibre peel-off and pull-out

A micromechanical simulation model/method to predict the effect of fibre configuration and matrix properties on the cohesive traction - separation law. Based on a representative volume with one or a few fibres bridging two crack faces. Statistical treatment of results generated are used to predict the traction separation law for larger ensembles of fibres. The delivery will be a memo describing the simulation method and the results generated and appropriate results data in ASCII format
