Fibre/Polymer Tests at the Fibre Scale: Tools for Analysing and Optimizing the Composite Response to Mechanical Loads

Various mechanical tests involving a single fiber or a few fibers embedded in a polymer matrix are described: pull-out and microindentation, multiple fracture, microbuckling, and matrix deformation at the fiber scale. Beyond the experimental challenge, the tests are not only intended to improve the...

Description
Summary:Various mechanical tests involving a single fiber or a few fibers embedded in a polymer matrix are described: pull-out and microindentation, multiple fracture, microbuckling, and matrix deformation at the fiber scale. Beyond the experimental challenge, the tests are not only intended to improve the general knowledge about composites mechanics with regard to the fiber/matrix interaction, but also to have proper interface parameters merged with consequences for the materials selection and modification, as well as for constructing integrated models of composite macromechanical properties. Data is given for several carbon fiber reinforced resins.
