Analysis of Elastic Fiber Bridging in the Multiple Cracked Composite
A fibre pull-out problem in the multiple cracking stage is studied. Full bonding is assumed. When studying a single fibre the equilibrium condition may be violated at either of the cracks. Therefore to satisfy equilibrium a two-fibre system is assumed. Different cases were analysed and compared with the single fibre system. Also analysed was a case in which the two fibres partially overlap between two cracks; two examples are presented.
