Abstract:
The elastic properties of 3D elastomeric composite materials under large deformations are considered. The investigation is based on the structural macroscopic theory of stiff and soft composites. The results of micro- and macromechanical analyses of composite materials with compressible and poorly compressible matrices are presented. The character of interaction between the fibers of various reinforcing systems in these matrices is revealed. The deformation characteristics of the composites in tension and shear are presented as functions of their orientation and loading parameters. The evolution of the configuration of a composite material with a compressible matrix during loading is traced.
