Micromechanical modeling of an intelligent material containing TiNi fibers is performed by taking into consideration of the existence of crack bridging fibers with transformation strain which corresponds to the total amount of shrinkage of the fiber. In modeling, thermal expansion strain due to the mismatch of thermal expansion coefficients between TiNi fiber and matrix is also considered. The stress and strain fields in the matrix, fibers, and fictious eigenstrain in cracks can be found, hence the total potential energy of the model will be derived from these fields. By using the total potential energy, the stress intensity factor at the tip of crack in the material will be expressed successfully in terms of the transformation strain of fibers and the thermal expansion strain occurred in the material.
