A numerical framework has been developed to investigate the micromechanical damage initiation and progression in uni-directional fiber reinforced polymer (UD-FRPs) under longitudinal loading. Three-dimensional repeating unit cell (3D-RUC) with spatially random distribution of continuous fibers dispersed in matrix have been generated. Each fiber is modelled by assigning varying strength along the length and allowing for multiple fragmentations to occur using Weibull statistics. Matrix damage and interface debonding is allowed to occur in addition to fiber failure. Non-linear homogenization principle is used to obtain effective constitutive behavior of the 3D-RUC. Multiple fragmentations in multiple fibers are seen to occur upon increasing longitudinal loads. Local load sharing around the broken fibers has also been observed. Fiber fragmentation is found to trigger other modes of damage.
