Original abstract

The main focus of this paper is the numerical investigation of fracture behaviour in particulate composite (CaCO3 -PP). The composite was modelled as a three-phase continuum and numerically simulated on a microscopic scale using finite elements. The interaction of micro-crack propagation in the matrix filled by rigid particles covered by the interphase was analyzed. Stress distribution was determined for a variety of particle sizes and material properties of the interphase. The final results, in agreement with the experimental data, confirm the dependence of microcrack behavior on particle size.
