ON DEVELOPING OF A THERMOELASTIC CONTINUUM DAMAGE MODEL FOR DIELECTRIC COMPOSITE MATERIALS
Öz
This paper deals with developing a continuum damage mechanics model belonging to constitutive equations
which represent linear electro-thermo-elastic behavior of a composite material, where the material was
reinforced with arbitrarily distributed single fiber family and which have micro-cracks. The composite medium
is assumed to be dielectric, incompressible, homogeneous, and dependent on temperature gradient. The matrix
material made of elastic material involving an artificial anisotropy because of fibers reinforcing by arbitrary
distributions and the existence of micro-cracks, has been assumed as an isotropic medium. It is accepted that the
fiber family is inextensible. Using the basic laws, of continuum damage mechanics and continuum
electrodynamics and the equations belonging to kinematic of fiber, the constitutive functionals have been
obtained. It has been detected as a result of the thermodynamic constraints that stress potential function depends
on two symmetric tensors and two vectors, and the heat flux vector function depends on two symmetric tensors
and three vectors. To determine arguments of the constitutive functionals, findings relating to the theory of
invariants have been used as a method because of that isotropy constraint is imposed on the matrix material.
Finally, the constitutive equations of symmetric stress, polarization field, asymmetric stress, heat flux vector and
strain-energy density release rate have been written in material coordinates.
