Abstract

Fracture energy of pseudo strain-hardening cement1tlous composites is computed by means of finite element analysis of crack growth under small- scale yielding conditions. A parametric study is conducted, which clarifies the relation between the composites' uniaxial behavior and· their fracture energy.
