AB  - A new theory of composite damage mechanics at the mesoscale level is developed. The mechanical behavior of a distressed composite is described by the combination of two different phases (matrix and inclusion), both of them are linear elastic isotropic materials. The matrix represents the original material without damage, and the inclusions represent the material with ultimate damage. The inclusion volume fraction is used as the variable to characterize the extent of the damage, instead of the conventional scalar damage parameter. The major difference from the scalar damage theory is that the elastic modulus of the inclusion is not zero, which…
