Abstract
The stress transfer in fiber-reinforced composites is studied theoretically with the help of a finite difference type of approach. The results show that the efficiency of stress transfer between matrix and fiber is a unique function of the fiber aspect ratio and of the mismatch in elastic moduli between the matrix and the fiber. The effect of the adhesion between fiber and matrix is also studied. The predictions of the theory are compared to available experimental data and a good agreement is found.
