Numerical model of a self-healing fibre reinforced composite material

This research deals with development and numerical implementation of a constitutive model for a composite material with the ability to heal matrix micro-damage. Self-healing materials are already known for some time, e.g. in (Barbero et al. 2005) a constitutive model of a self-healing composite material with extrinsic self-healing ability is proposed, i.e. healing occurs due to the rupture of microcapsules which contain the healing agent. The constitutive model proposed in this work is a novelty in the field of continuum damage healing mechanics (CDHM), since it exhibits intrinsic self-healing ability of a composite material.
