Abstract

The structural theory of short-term damage is generalized to the case where the undamaged components of a granular composite deform nonlinearly. The basis for this generalization is the stochastic elasticity equations for a granular composite with porous components whose skeletons deform nonlinearly. Microvolumes of the composite components meet the Huber–Mises failure criterion. Damaged microvolume balance equations are derived for the physically nonlinear materials of the components. Together with the equations relating macrostresses and macrostrains of a granular composite with porous nonlinear components, they constitute a closed-form system. The system describes the coupled processes of physically nonlinear deformation and microdamage. Algorithms for calculating the microdamage–macrostrain relationship and plotting deformation diagrams are proposed. Uniaxial tension curves are plotted for the case where microdamages occur in the linearly hardened matrix and do not in the inclusions, which are linearly elastic
