Fracture and Fatigue Analysis of Composites 237 The entire procedure can be applied for the fatigue analysis by rewriting the material properties of the composite components in terms of the current fatigue cycle number.Then,homogenising the constitutive law for each cycle,the whole composite fatigue can be modelled in a global scale,without the necessity for a very precise microscale discretisation or computational substructuring;an analogous analysis can be carried out for composite materials with cracks [336,337],for instance.It should be underlined that the described homogenisation procedure is sensitive to the RVE determination from the entire composite and to the scale parameter relating this element,dimensions to the dimensions of the entire composite.The formula for effective elasticity tensor is rewritten under the assumption that this parameter tends to 0,which is a very unrealistic model. Furthermore,the homogenisation procedure can be established for random composites,too,only if the randomness does not influence the periodic character of the composite (especially during the fatigue process).Then,either MCS [191]as well as SFEM [192]can be utilised for this purpose.Therefore,starting from probabilistic characteristics of the composite properties,the expected values, variances (or standard deviations)as well as higher order moments (in the statistical estimation only)can be computed. A very important issue from the technological point of view is the presence of the interface defects (usually with stochastic nature)appearing and growing between the composite components.Various computational models are proposed in this case in terms of special purpose spring finite elements or,alternatively,using the interphase as a new,separate material between the original composite components.This new material can be constructed from the original semicircular defects with random parameters,smeared (averaged probabilistically)over the entire interphase region according to the stochastic model introduced in Chapter 2; the composite with such an introduced interphase is then homogenised.To utilise the model for fatigue life cycle analysis,the geometrical and physical properties of the composite should be described in terms of the fatigue cycle number and then homogenised cycle by cycle for the needs of computational simulation of the composite
