Abstract

With appropriate numerical methods of composites modelling we can observe defects growth without using invasive experimental methods. In this paper we present results of simulation of quasi-static process of fracture in composite using cellular automata and fractal characteristics of defects growth based on box-counting method. Defects evolution in composite are treated as a dynamical system depending on external and internal conditions and properties of fibres.
