Two-dimensional and three-dimensional statistical | |
micromechanical damage models with randomly located | |
interacting microcracks are presented to investigate the | |
overall nonlinear mechanical responses of microcrack- | |
weakened brittle solids. The macroscopic stress-strain | |
relations of elastic solids with interacting micro-cracks | |
are micromechanically derived by taking the ensemble | |
average over all possible realizations. Several different | |
approximate analytical solutions of a two-crack | |
interaction model are introduced to account for micro- | |
crack interaction among many randomly oriented and | |
distributed microcracks. The overall elastic damage | |
compliances of microcrack-weakened brittle solids are | |
also derived by further taking the volume average of the | |
ensemble-averaged stress-strain relations over the entire | |
material mesostructural domain. Some special examples are | |
investigated by using the proposed framework. At variance | |
with existing phenomenological damage models, the | |
proposed framework does not employ any fitted 'material | |
parameters'. 'Cleavage 1' microcrack growth and | |
'evolutionary damage models' within the proposed context | |
are also presented. Micromechanical damage mechanics, | |
