Micromechanics of diffusion-induced damage evolution in reinforced polymers

In this work we numerically investigate the nucleation and evolution of micromechanical damage in reinforced glassy polymers under transient hygro-mechanical loading. In particular, we demonstrate the role that fiber distribution plays in the evolution of overall damage due to fiber-matrix interfaci...
