Theoretical and experimental analysis of strain concentration around a broken fiber using the macro-composite technique

<p>It is important to understand the damage events in composite materials at the micro level, model elastic properties, and understand phenomenological aspects of strength. Development of an accurate representation of these phenomena at the local level is difficult but pioneering work was done...
