The influence of interfaces and interphases on the mechanical behavior of composite materials has been widely discussed in the literature, particularly in the last few years. Several books have been devoted to the subject. Despite this fact, the systematic rep resentation of the mechanics of this subject remains grossly incomplete, and because of this, no consistent approach has been developed towards the determination of the influence of the interphase on the properties and performance of composite materials and laminates.
