Abstract
For the purpose of clarifying the micro fracture of continuous fiber unidirectionally reinforced composite materials, the problem of an edge crack perpendicular to a long reinforced phase is considered on the basis of the plane strain theory of elasticity. The stress intensity factor at the tip of the crack, and the stresses on the interface between the matrix and the reinforced phase and in the reinforced phase are discussed. In the analysis, the method of continuous distributions of dislocations is used. Then, a singular integral equation is derived and is solved by the technique developed by Erdogan and Gupta.
