Abstract
This paper studies the stress redistribution in a tensile hybrid composite sheet due to the breakage of a high modulus fiber. Employing a continuous distribution of dislocations, a set of singular integral equations is established to analyze the fiber crack impinging upon weakly bonded fiber-matrix interfaces. After solving the integral equations numerically, the stress concentration factors of both high modulus and low modulus fibers are evaluated as a function of loading stress and interfacial parameters. The results are compared with those obtained from shear-lag model solution.
