| Abstract: | The article presents mathematical and computational research dealing with the problem of stochastic interface defects occurring in composite materials between their constituents. A mathematical model of the periodic composite with such defects is presented in detail, as well as probabilistic numerical methods enabling computational experiments which are shown in a further part of the text. The fiber-reinforced and laminated composite has been tested in numerical tests as well as the superconducting coil cable-four-component composite to verify how the structural defects considered, according to the model introduced, influence the static behavior of the composites analyzed. All the results obtained and discussed in the article are summarized in concluding remarks which show the directions of further model development, while numerous references enable the reader to study the problem further. |
