Motivation

Composites are materials madefrom two or more constituentmaterials with significantly differentphysical or chemical properties andwhich remain separate and distincton a macroscopic level within thefinished structure.

Fiber reinforced epoxy( Boeing 777 ).

Nonlinear elasticity is often usedto model failure.

Theory

The goal is to characterize Local Fields inside NonlinearPower Law Materials.

This research develops new multiscale tools to bound thesingularity strength inside micro-structured media in terms ofthe macroscopic applied fields.

The research carried out in this project draws upon themathematical theory of Elliptic partial differential equations,Corrector theory, Young measures, and Homogenizationmethods.

Motivation

In heterogeneous media the initiation of failure is a multi-scalephenomena.

If you apply a load at the structural scale, the load is oftenamplified by the microstructure creating local zones of highfield concentration.

Future work

What about random materials?

What if the structure is not disperse?

Study the case of Linear Laminates: Even thought they arenot disperse maybe the same results can be obtained.
