Abstract

The accuracy of a continuum theory of fracture is examined analytically for layered incompressible non-linear composites undergoing large deformations in biaxial compression. The investigation is illustrated by numerical results for the particular models of hyperelastic layers with the elastic potential of neo-Hookean type (Treloar's potential).
