On the application of the Theory of Critical Distances for prediction of fracture in fibre composites

This paper is concerned with the fracture of composite materials containing stress concentration features such as notches and holes. In particular, it addresses the question of the use of the Theory of Critical Distances (TCD) – a method which is widely used for predicting notch effects in fatigue a...
