Diagrams of statistical strength criterion for reinforced composite materials

Abstract

The model of a plate brittle material reinforced with randomly sized and placed rigid rectilinear inclusions that do not interact with each other is considered. The geometric parameters of inclusions (length and orientation) are statistically independent random variables, with certain given laws of probability distribution. Diagrams of statistical strength criterion for such plates are constructed under conditions of comprehensive tension-compression. The diagrams are constructed for plates using a material of a different structural inhomogeneity and Poisson’s ratio of an elastic homogeneous matrix. The statistical nature of the scale effect is studied, the intensity of which depends on the type of stress state. MSC 2010: 74R10, 74R99, 60K35, 82C03
