A micromechanical model for predicting tensile strength

A novel micromechanical model for predicting the failure of polymeric and ceramic matrices under an applied global tensile loading is presented. The model is based on a Weibull statistical type of approach and incorporates eleven different variables to simulate different micromechanical failure phen...
