Abstract
We generalize an existing model for finite strain induced degradation of polymers so as to treat materials with fiber reinforcing. The model allows for degradation of either the matrix or fiber constituents. It also makes allowance for a simple concept of swelling which can also contribute to the degradation kinetics.
