This presentation deals with the fabrication, modeling, and identification (testing) of self-healing polymer and polymer-matrix composites. Healing (and self-healing) occurs in a variety of materials including rock salt, sinterized metals, ceramics, polymer-matrix composites, bone, and so on. Fabrication/processing aspects of a self-healing system suitable for polymers and polymer-matrix composites will be described. Also, an overview of Continuum Damage-Healing Mechanics (CDHM) will be presented followed by a description of its associated parameter identification. CDHM is an extension of Continuous Damage Mechanics (CDM) recently developed by the author to model healing processes. While the theoretical framework of CDHM is general, parameter identification depends on the particular material being modeled and the specific material tests that are feasible to conduct for that class of materials. Preliminary results are shown in order to illustrate the healing behavior of damaged polymeric matrix composites. Healed and not healed cases are discussed in order to show the model capability and to describe possible evolution of the healed system.
