Abstract

The presented paper is focused on the numerical study of fracture behavior of polymer particulate composites. The polymer particulate composite is modeled as a three-phase continuum. Together with particles and matrix is considered an interphase. The interphase is created on particle-matrix interface. Non-linear matrix material properties were experimentally determined and used in calculations. The main aim is to estimate micro-crack propagation direction for the variety of matrix and interphase material properties. The results are obtained using the finite element commercial code ANSYS.
