Abstract
An analysis of the mechanisms of nonlinear separation at the interface between an elastic matrix and a plane circular elastic inclusion is presented. An application of the results to the problem of the effective transverse bulk response of unidirectional fiber reinforced composite materials is considered as well. The solution of the solitary inclusion-matrix-interface problem is employed, together with a geometrically consistent composite materials model, to obtain the transverse bulk response of fiber reinforced composites whose fiber-matrix interfaces can separate nonlinearly.
