Interfacial friction in the debonded structural cell of particulate rubber composites

The role of the interface friction in formation of mechanical behavior of structural cells is examined. A method for calculation of the stress–strain state induced by the interface friction within the debonded structural cells is presented. Features of the structural stresses and strains are presented and the localities of the microdamage onsets are established. Effective properties of cells are determined and their dependence on the interface friction is demonstrated.
