This paper will describe a procedure for modelling the complete macroscopic response (including strain hardening and tension softening) of short fibre reinforced cementitious composites and show how their microstructural parameters influence this response. The strain hardening is essentially due to elastic bridging forces which are proportional to crack opening displacements. On the other hand, an...
The fatigue growth of an edge flaw in a round bar under cyclic tension or bending loading is examined. Different assumptions related to the crack front are successively considered, and their validity is discussed from the results of a numerical model using finite element analyses. It is concluded that the crack front geometry must be described by at least two parameters, and that the constant stress...
