Анотація In this investigation a metallic composite with a cracked micro has been investigated using finite element method. Particulate reinforced composite is one of the most favorite composite due to it quit isotopic properties. While being in metallic status, the micro particles may be subjected to deterioration which lead to crack embedded initiation within the micro particle. This crack lead to degradation in the mechanical as well as the fracture behavior in the composite. Mechanical characteristics through estimating the stiffness of the composite has been studied for intact and cracked particles as well as for the fractured particles. It has been found that as long as the crack propagates in the micro particle, there is reduction in the composite stiffness and increases in the stress intensity factor (SIF).
